Today I have uploaded a video ‘Lego plays Ruzzle‘ on Youtube, to show how my creation works.
I like to mix different technologies to create something innovative.
I love Lego, and recently discovered Ruzzle, a popular mobile game. So, I decided to mix Lego, Ruzzle, Javascript, bash and other pieces to create a super robot 
In this project I used:
- Tablet with Ruzzle
- Bash script for:
- Bash script for download screenshot of device
- Process image with Imagemagick
- Recognize character from image with Tesseract
- NodeJS for:
- Solving Ruzzle
- Optimizing the plan
- Send via bluetooth to Lego Mindstorm
- Nxc program to receive plan via bluetooth
- Absolute Position Regulator library for precise control of lego motors
The project is open source, and the code is on Github:
