The motors and sensors interface to the XO through a small PCB, either [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 [http://www.fing.edu.uy/inco/proyectos/butia/mediawiki/index.php/Usb4butia Usb4butia PCB] which uses a PIC 18F4550 microprocessor. The connection between the XO and the small PCB is by USB cable. The cable must stay connected while the program is running.

''Shown L-R, the Arduino Mega, the shield PCB which plugs into the Arduino Mega, the Usb4Butia which replaces both boards i later versions''

The robot's controlling program runs on the XO laptop, typically TurtleBots, the pallette of blocks is shown below. Control by programs in [http://www.fing.edu.uy/inco/proyectos/butia/mediawiki/index.php/Butialo Lua] or [http://www.fing.edu.uy/inco/proyectos/butia/mediawiki/index.php/Python Python] are also possible.
