Programming

If you are using the Dexter Industries Rapbian for Image or have already have set up the software, you can view all the examples and projects available for the GrovePi in various programming languages.

If you have not set up the software for the GrovePi, follow the Getting Started guide in the above section.

	Programming in Python See our Video “Write Your First Program in Python” Python Library & Documentation
	Programming in Scratch: See our Video “Write Your First GrovePi Program in Scratch” GrovePi With Scratch Software
	Programming in Java GrovePi and Java with Netbeans and Maven
