Support for Sphero BOLT

[gen2thomas]

Hi @dennisgove , I have no experience with sphero toys at all. But there is at least one difference in the python code: The ToyType ends with ".06" for all old devices and with ".075" for the new one. This seems to be the command safe interval. Maybe this is only a timing problem?

My suggestion is to start with a copy of ollie-driver and fix all calls. After that it is possible to optimize the architecture, for the duplicated code parts. Maybe only some constants needs to be different.

If you provide an PR I can support you for the architecture optimization part.

Good luck, Thomas

Thank you, @gen2thomas. I'll peruse that python code and see how far I can get with it. This is a great starting point.

Please see https://github.com/nicholasjackson/sphero-mini for how this can be done using Golang.

Perhaps a new Gobot driver that wraps this package? Or else learn for how it does things and add to the current one? Someone can perhaps take a deep look to decide which of those options seems better.
