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.

You can follow the progress of each Bossy. I document them in my

[robotics blog](https://github.com/mithi/bossy) as I make them. My blog also includes the [BOM/Shopping list](https://mithi.github.io/robotics-blog/blog/bossy/02-bill-of-materials/), 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](https://mithi.github.io/robotics-blog/blog/bossy/09-coding-1/) but also to [modify](https://mithi.github.io/robotics-blog/blog/bossy/10-coding-2/), tweak, and hack your own Bossy's to fit your specific needs.

# Dependencies

- [nRF24/RF24](https://github.com/nRF24/RF24)

- Adafruit libraries such as the [adafruit/Adafruit_LED_Backpack](https://github.com/adafruit/Adafruit_LED_Backpack)

# How to use

Assuming you have a working Bossy:

- Download and Install [Arduino IDE](https://www.arduino.cc/en/Main/Software)

- 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
