Dear Sirs,
I am, to say the least, very disappointed by the Sparki I received today.
Not the hardware (as I cannot make it work) but there is no way to install your software in parallel to an existing Arduino IDE.
None of the examples of your IDE compile as your IDE gets confused with the existing IDE, loading the wrong files (.h .cpp).
Can you please provide a Arduino compatible library that can be used with the Arduino IDE? Or do I have to re-write your class by myself.
I was expecting a robot that I can use to teach children to program a nice Arduino robot - now I have a piece of hardware I currently only want to throw against the wall 
Just for illustration: The basic sketch

That’s the way we code…
