there is sorcery code available as GUI. Huge files, some supposedly
Linux possible, but I have had no success with them.
see here:

My take is that microprocessor work is not for everybody. It takes a
level of attention that goes beyond GUI, conceptually and mentally, so
why make things harder on the kid by forcing them to use GUI when the
few actually able would save themselves lots of pain by simply using
text-based stuff?
Besides, any GUI on the XO 1 is very heavy on the processor - freezing
the machine pretty much guaranteed, in my experience.
BTW, I have also been able to use the Arduino software on an XO 1 (which
also is text based), eliminating some files like the Wikipedia, to make
room. The MSP430 tools are lighter

I have finally got to work on this.
Are there any GUI tools for the programming, or does it all have to be
via command line?
Thanks.

I just bought the TI MSP430 to test it with the Xo 1.0.
Thank you Yama :-)

The TI MSP430 chips are a very attractive alternative to add robotic
options for XO / Sugar users. "Microcontrolers" are the brain behind
many engineering hobby and educational pursuits, but many alternatives
are expensive or very hard to run in the XO.
The TI Launchpad board, with a G2553 microcontroler and an extra G2452
in the box, is available from Texas Instruments for $4.30 USD,
including shipping anywhere in the world (yes, hard to believe).

Here are the instructions for running the Launchpad with the G2452.
Maybe if the next iteratiuon of Sugar uses Fedora 15 we will be able
to use the G2553 as well.

The next release will be based on F-17 but both those packages are
listed. You might want to use one of the test releases based on F-17
that I've released (new one coming soon) to make sure it all works OK
and feedback any issues to ensure we get them fixed for the final
release.
