The GoPiGo3 is a delightful and complete robot for the Raspberry Pi that turns your Pi into a fully operating robot. GoPiGo3 is a mobile robotic platform for the Raspberry Pi first developed by Dexter Industries, and acquired by Modular Robotics. See GoPiGo.io.
GoPiGo OS is an easy to get started with, all packaged OS for the GoPiGo3. It offers Bloxter, and JupyterLab 2. You can download it and install it on your SD card.
Note: GoPiGo OS allows you to SSH into the robot and have full access to Linux. You can also use VNC viewer and access the Raspberry Pi Desktop.
DexterOS is now deprecated and replaced by GoPiGo OS. It offers Bloxter, and JupyterLab 1. You can download it and install it on your SD card.
Note: DexterOS does not allow you to SSH into the robot and have full access to Linux. If you want full access, please choose Raspbian for Robots.
You can find all software and installation for the GoPiGo3 on an SD Card by using our operating system Raspbian for Robots. You can download and install Raspbian for Robots for free with instructions found here.
You can also purchase an SD Card with the software on it here.
