PYRO : Python in hand with Robotics

Python developers all over the world are searching for fields that are not involved python. I recently found a good job by them - a boon for robotics enthusiasts - that is Python Robotics or simply Pyro.

Go to pyro project page

Download Pyro live CD

Many built-in python scripts are there to define the robotic brain and paths. Of course, you can write your own scripts. Anyway, pyro is a wonderful experience.

I encountered a problem while booting from pyro live CD. It seems to be mother board and chipset specific. My problem was, no x start up. It hangs up when displays "Probing/Loading AGP Modules...". I used several knoppix cheat codes to enter into kde desktop. It was successful. Thanks to knoppix developers forum. The boot time cheat code i entered is:

knoppix noagp

If you encounter any such problem, try to search for knoppix boot problems and not for pyro boot problems.
