Here is the series of blog articles about the Anki Overdrive with Bluemix demos.
Node.js Controller and MQTT API for Anki Overdrive Anki also released other successful products like Anki Overdrive (the successor of Anki Drive) and an interactive toy robot called Cozmo, as well as a more advanced version of Cozmo. On Bluemix the Internet of Things Foundation service is used and a simple Node-RED flow.Īdditionally you can control the cars locally via a command line interface.įor more details read the documentation of the project. Their first successful product was the Anki Drive which combined a toy racing car and track set with an iOS app for controlling and programming the toy cars. Here is a screenshot of my setup.Ĭheck out the video to watch a short demo.

In order to run the demo yourself, you need in addition to the Anki Drive Starter Kit MacBooks or notebooks to run Node.js applications using the Bluetooth Low Energy protocol. Commands can be sent from the cloud to the cars, for example in order to set the speed, and the messages from the cars, for example location data, are sent to the cloud, so that you can prevent the cars driving on the same lanes. I’ve built a demo that shows how Anki Overdrive cars can be controlled from IBM Bluemix.
