Thymio Suite for Linux

Accessing Thymio's programming interfaces easily

Overview

Thymio Suite is a software designed for Linux users who want to program Thymio educational robots.

It makes it simple to switch between different programming languages and tools all in one place.

The software supports multiple programming options including VPL (Visual Programming Language), VPL3, Blockly, Scratch, and Aseba Studio.

These options let users choose how they want to program the robot based on their skill level or preference.

Besides programming, Thymio Suite includes extra tools to help manage and test the robots.

There is a Thymio Simulator that allows users to practice programming without needing the physical robot.

The Upgrader tool helps to keep the robot’s software updated.

Also, the Wireless Configurator lets users set up the robot’s wireless connection for easier control.

One key feature is the ability to find and connect to all Thymio robots plugged into your computer or available on the local network.

You can name each robot and save that name directly in the robot for easy identification later.

Thymio Suite also supports accessing robots remotely over the internet, which is useful for managing robots that are not nearby.

It is important to note that Thymio Suite is only available on the Linux platform.

There is no support for Windows or MacOS.

Also, the software’s user interface details are limited, so users should be prepared for a more technical environment.

Overall, Thymio Suite fits well for Linux users who want a safe and flexible way to program and control Thymio robots.
