Description

alphabot-interface provides a modular and simple Python interface for interacting with key components of the Waveshare AlphaBot 2 platform, including:

• Camera module (using Picamera2)
• Battery monitoring
• Motor control

alphabot-interface is a lightweight Python package that lets you comfortably use various components of the AlphaBot platform and write clean, readable, and modular code.

This package is designed to abstract hardware-level interactions so developers and students can focus on high-level robotics programming and deply swarm intelligence algorithms

Installation

You can install the package via pip:

pip install alphabot-interface

Usage

This package let you comfortably use various components of AlphaBot and write clean, readable code.

from alphabot_interface import Camera, Battery, Motor

# Initialize components
camera = Camera()
battery = Battery()
motor = Motor()

target_x = 100
target_y = 0
DURATION = 3  #in seconds

# Use the motor to go to position (100,0) in 3 seconds
motor.move(target_x, target_y, DURATION)

# How much battery is left?
battery_status = battery.get_status()

# Take a photo with camera and save it to output.jpg
camera.take_picture("output.jpg")

# What do we see? 
# returns a list of {id [target or obstacle], distance, left_angle, right_angle}
camera.get_objects()
