The BrickPi is easy to integrate with the web, and many of our projects demonstrate how to control your robot with web-pages, the SSH, Twitter, and other web services. Our projects include detailed Bill of Materials on the LEGO parts you will need to use, as well as programs to run them. Please see our Projects Section.
Design
The BrickPi controls LEGO motors and sensors, as well as the new EV3 motors. The BrickPi is controlled by the Raspberry Pi. The BrickPi is powered by a 9V-12V battery pack, which supplies power to the Raspberry Pi, the BrickPi and LEGO sensors. A functional diagram is shown below.
Our project is completely open source. You can see design files and other details on the firmware design on our Github site here: https://github.com/DexterInd/BrickPi
