DexterOS

DexterOS programming is done entirely in a web browser.  You can program in Bloxter and Python. Curriculum and projects using the GoPiGo can be found on our project platform, Dexter Studio.

Bloxter

DexterOS teaches programming skills using a Blockly-based programming language, Bloxter.  You can test drive the Bloxter programming language and program your robot online at DexterOS here.

See more about DexterOS here, how to get it for free, and how to start programming.  

Bloxter is easy to get started with and fun to use.  Free lessons on Bloxter programming for the GoPiGo3 and a host of sensors and accessories are built right into the software.

The first lesson in each chapter will have a step-by-step tutorial explaining the core concepts you need to understand to grasp the concept in the lesson chapter. It will also walk you through where to plugin your sensors on the GoPiGo!

Python

You can also program your GoPiGo with DexterOS in Python. Go to the top menu “Code” and chose Python in the drop down.

DexterOS does work with the GoPiGo2, but features are more limited.
