    Howdy,

    I was just looking at the current state of Wheelson's firmware so I decided to write a short update about that.

    Currently, the firmware is still a WIP (work in progress), but we're having fun tinkering with Wheelson's firmware and coming up with snazzy new features that are going to come preloaded on your Wheelsons.



    There are four apps that are currently being worked on:

    • Simple programming mode
    • Autonomous driving 
    • Object tracking
    • QR card recognition app

    Simple programming mode is something I'd love to hear your feebdack about. Basically, it's an on-device coding app that lets you create a simple sequence of pre-defined functions such as driving in various directions, lighting LEDs, making sounds, etc.

    Here you can see the simple programming mode in action:




    And a short video.

    I would love to hear what you folks think about this.

    Thanks and stay tuned!
