How to Use

The bash script is essentially a loop that listens for keyboard input and invokes API commands corresponding with forware, backword, left, right, and stop instructions.

Open up a bash shell + go to controllers dir

cd rc_car/controllers

Set 2 env vars:

export SPARK_CORE_DEVICE_ID="PUT_YOUR_DEVICE_ID_HERE!!!! i.e. acefdc000a01a411587f65d5"
export SPARK_CORE_ACCESS_TOKEN="PUT_YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN_HERE!!!! i.e. 3651b73e632b86881d47c65e7b0f59d511e97520"

Load some bash functions into the current shell:

source application.sh

Then run the input loop function:

rc_while
