The motors and sensors interface to the XO through a small PCB, either an [http://arduino.cc/en/Main/ArduinoBoardMega Arduino Mega] and [http://www.fing.edu.uy/inco/proyectos/butia/mediawiki/index.php/Construccion_shield_v1.0 shield] or a [http://www.fing.edu.uy/inco/proyectos/butia/mediawiki/index.php/Usb4butia Usb4butia PCB] (which uses a PIC microprocessor). The connection between the XO laptop and the small PCB is by USB cable. The cable must stay connected while the program is running.

To install the software which runs on the Arduino or Usb4Butia, there is a [http://sourceforge.net/p/butia/code/ci/d7c19a5b8ee1968c64b0ebd017ee6641e0956629/tree/firmware/ButiaFirmware.activity/ ButiaFirmware] Activity which runs on a XO. This is not released to the public yet, further inquiries to butia@fing.edu.uy
To install the software which runs on Usb4Butia, there is an activity [http://activities.sugarlabs.org/es-ES/sugar/addon/4621 ButiaFirmware] Activity which runs on a XO.


The robot's controlling program runs on the XO laptop, typically TurtleBots, the pallette of blocks is shown below. Control by programs in [[Activities/Butialo | Lua]] , [http://www.fing.edu.uy/inco/proyectos/butia/mediawiki/index.php/Butialo] , [http://activities.sugarlabs.org//en-US/sugar/addon/4457] or [http://www.fing.edu.uy/inco/proyectos/butia/mediawiki/index.php/Python Python] is also possible.
