## Project ideas

- A turtle-style floor drawing route

- A button-triggered movement and light sequence

## What you need

- Dash robot, Bluetooth computer, Python 3.9+ and the unofficial WonderPy port.

- A laptop and coding agent for writing and reviewing your project

## Compatibility and cautions

- The port is unofficial and incomplete. Its maintainer reports working pose, RGB lights and several sensors, but other commands remain partial or unimplemented; do not promise full robot control.

- Documentation reviewed, not hands-on tested by Atoms for Agents. Generated code needs review before it controls real hardware.

## Planning notes (not a replacement for the original technical instructions)

1. **Confirm the exact model**: Match the hardware label and bundle to the linked documentation. Dash robot, Bluetooth computer, Python 3.9+ and the unofficial WonderPy port.

2. **Prove the documented connection**: Follow the original guide and run its smallest supported example before asking an agent to extend it. The port is unofficial and incomplete. Its maintainer reports working pose, RGB lights and several sensors, but other commands remain partial or unimplemented; do not promise full robot control.

3. **Build one useful behavior**: Start with a turtle-style floor drawing route. Add logging, sensible timeouts and a manual off switch. Python runs on your laptop and sends commands to Dash over Bluetooth.

## Coding-agent project brief

Help me plan a turtle-style floor drawing route using Wonder Workshop Dash robot. Read https://github.com/axlan/WonderPy first. Confirm my operating system, exact model, firmware and required accessories. Use only documented capabilities. Start with the smallest reversible test and ask before moving hardware, flashing firmware or changing credentials. The port is unofficial and incomplete. Its maintainer reports working pose, RGB lights and several sensors, but other commands remain partial or unimplemented; do not promise full robot control. Keep secrets out of public code.
