Abstract

In this work is described the interconnection of the greek localized Logo programming
environment, MicroWorlds Pro, with the credit card sized computer Raspberry Pi, for the
control of an ordinary radio controlled vehicle. Within MicroWorlds Pro software, every
command of the language that is executed for the direction of a turtle in geometrical shape
design, is translated to the respective english one and is sent to the Raspberry Pi computer via
internet. In real time, the received command activates accordingly the switches of the PiFace.
Those, properly connected to the remote control switches, cause the movement of the vehicle
to the desired direction.
Keywords: Logo programming, MicroWorlds Pro, Raspberry Pi, PiFace, switch, Dos script,
Unix shell script, Netcat, Python.
