sphero-as-controller

This nodejs application provides the possibility to use your Sphero, BB-8 or Ollie as a controller on Linux OS.

As the body of Sphero and BB-8 is constantly changing (eg: always same pitch and roll values), you need a way to fix you Sphero or BB-8. I do own an Ollie and as I can grab the body, there is no such problem.

Maybe fixing BB-8's head with your hand helps.

(? Or you can use it while it is docked? If there is a magnet that is keeping Sphero's body down, it should work)

Nevertheless this app is working fine with Ollie.
