🎮 Contains the code that can be used with Bossy controllers and derivatives 🎮

Bossy is an open-source custom general purpose controller based on Arduino. It uses nrF24l01+ to communicate its commands wirelessly. You can use it to control anything!

The first prototype is complete, I will start the second prototype in the next few months once the extreme quarantine lockdown has been lifted in my city. There are also plans to make a few derivatives of Bossy such as Tiny Bossy and Mini Bossy.

Tiny Bossy	Mini Bossy	Bossy

You can follow the progress of each Bossy. I document them in my robotics blog as I make them. My blog also includes the BOM/Shopping list, step-by-step build instructions, trouble-shooting tips should you wish to make your own Bossy's. The Bossy library also makes it easy for you to not only to get started but also to modify, tweak, and hack your own Bossy's to fit your specific needs.

Dependencies

• nRF24/RF24
• Adafruit libraries such as the adafruit/Adafruit_LED_Backpack

How to use

Assuming you have a working Bossy:

• Download and Install Arduino IDE

• Go to your Arduino library directory, on a Mac its ~/Documents/Arduino/libraries/

• Clone this repo $ git clone https://github.com/mithi/bossy.git

• You should be able to see example sketches that you can upload on your own Bossy File > Examples > Bossy
