+# Sphero BB-8
+
+The Sphero BB-8 is a toy robot from Sphero that is controlled using Bluetooth LE. For more information, go to [http://www.sphero.com/bb8](http://www.sphero.com/bb8)
+
+## How to Install
+```
+go get -d -u gobot.io/x/gobot/... && go install gobot.io/x/gobot/platforms/ble
+```
+
+## How to Use
+```go
+package main
+
+import (
+	"os"
+	"time"
+
+	"gobot.io/x/gobot"
+	"gobot.io/x/gobot/platforms/ble"
+	"gobot.io/x/gobot/platforms/sphero/bb8"
+)
+
+func main() {
+	bleAdaptor := ble.NewClientAdaptor(os.Args[1])
+	bb8 := bb8.NewDriver(bleAdaptor)
+
+	work := func() {
+		gobot.Every(1*time.Second, func() {
+			r := uint8(gobot.Rand(255))
+			g := uint8(gobot.Rand(255))
+			b := uint8(gobot.Rand(255))
+			bb8.SetRGB(r, g, b)
+		})
+	}
+
+	robot := gobot.NewRobot("bb",
+		[]gobot.Connection{bleAdaptor},
+		[]gobot.Device{bb8},
+		work,
+	)
+
+	robot.Start()
+}
+```
+
+## How to Connect
+
+The Sphero BB-8 is a Bluetooth LE device.
+
+You need to know the BLE ID of the BB-8 you want to connect to. The Gobot BLE client adaptor also lets you connect by friendly name, aka "BB-1247".
+
+### OSX
+
+To run any of the Gobot BLE code you must use the `GODEBUG=cgocheck=0` flag in order to get around some of the issues in the CGo-based implementation.
+
+For example:
+
+    GODEBUG=cgocheck=0 go run examples/bb8.go BB-1247
+
+OSX uses its own Bluetooth ID system which is different from the IDs used on Linux. The code calls thru the XPC interfaces provided by OSX, so as a result does not need to run under sudo.
+
+### Ubuntu
+
+On Linux the BLE code will need to run as a root user account. The easiest way to accomplish this is probably to use `go build` to build your program, and then to run the requesting executable using `sudo`.
+
+For example:
+
+    go build examples/bb8.go
+    sudo ./bb8 BB-1247
+
+### Windows
+
+Hopefully coming soon...
