This is the library for controlling the ThermoFlex muscle system by Delta Robotics

Project description

Getting Started

System Requirements

  • Python 3.12 or greater
  • Pyserial 3.5 or greater

Introduction

The Thermoflex muscle is a current activated artificial muscle that is designed to have a low profile usage and simple activation and deactivation sequence. The purpose of this library is 2-fold; to become the working backend of the Delta hardware application and to allow for open-source development of the Nitinol muscle.

First steps

Ensure that you have a Node and Muscle device.

Install the thermoflex library. You can do this 3 different ways.

  1. Type this command into Powershell

    pip install thermoflex
    
  2. From the thermoflex repository, download the python-serial folder,cd to the build folder, and type this command.

    pip install thermoflex-0.0.3.tar.gz 
    
  3. After downloading the thermoflex repository, cd into the folder and type this command

    pip install python-serial/
    

After installing the library, connect the Muscle to the Node and the Node to the computer.

There is an example python script muscle-simple.py in the getting started folder to help you understand the flow of the system. Simply run the file and the muscle should contract, update for 5 seconds, and then release. Then the program will end.

The README in the thermoflex repository has a glossary containing all of the working commands.
