Demo Software:

Your Spirit Rover is pre-loaded with a demo example. Its functionality is described in this section.

The demo software basically has four different modes as follows:

Random actions triggered by an object or hand placed within 100mm of the ultrasonic rangefinder (these are Spirit's "eyes").
Random autonomous roaming.
Light Seeking.
Transparent / Disabled Mode (used when Raspberry Pi takes over control).

You can view the demo behaviors and a description of how to change between them in our video here:

Use the BTN button to index between behavior modes 1 to 3.
When using the Raspberry Pi, the demo behaviors are disabled and the Arduino processor enters a transparent mode as soon as the Raspberry Pi sends any motor control code. From that point forward, the robot is controlled by the Raspberry Pi.
Normal function of the demo behaviors is restored after resetting the Arduino processor or cycling power to the robot.
