Ahoy !..

I was rather dismayed when I saw my Mega attach with an Arduino service and I got a endless
error 

Saw Ray post this - to me looks like a nice mini Boston Dynamics Nightmare ... very nice

This is an interesting series about designing a walking robot. https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLpwJoq86vov-C5SldDA-AhxesVHPRk74x  most of this is above my head, but might be useful to Ray in his newest challenge.

Here's a quick mock-up of the RasPi service UI.
Having a pin out reference I always find useful ...  can prevent blue smoke sometimes :)
Alexinator40 and Ray have been suggesting a generalized I2C interface.  I think components from the Serial service can provide a UI which allows for generalized reads and writes to devices on an I2C bus.
The buttons on the right would be just to read and write GPIO pins..

Ahoy !

Now with OpenCV stuff merged on the develop branch - the branch I'm working with is closer to develop.
The largest amount of change on it that is different has to do with Motors and MotorControllers.

Motors in the past always required a direct reference to a controller.  

I don't think this is a very good design.

The command to start myrobotlab should look something like this:

This command has to be done after every new start of the Arduino / Raspberry ; a desktop icon is not existing.
