Installation

Requires Python 3, not compatible with Python 2

Pip

Make sure you have Python3 and pip installed, then run the following command:

$ pip install eva-sdk

# Or for a specific version, i.e the lastest compatible version 2.x.x:
$ pip install eva-sdk~=2.0.0

Pipenv

Make sure you have Python3 and Pipenv installed, then run the following command:

$ pipenv install eva-sdk

# Or for a specific version, i.e the lastest compatible version 2.x.x:
$ pipenv install eva-sdk~=2.0.0

Detail Instructions

If your not familiar with Python or for more detailed instructions please refer to our wiki:

• Windows installation instructions
• Mac installation instructions

Examples

The Eva object allows you to directly control an Eva robot. It provides lots of useful helper function for interacting with the robot.

Eva

Connecting

host = '<your_eva_IP_here>'
token = '<your_token_here>'

eva = Eva(host, token)

GoTo movement

eva = Eva(host_ip, token)

with eva.lock():
    eva.control_wait_for_ready()
    eva.control_go_to([0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0])

Toolpath create and run

toolpath = {
    "metadata":{
        "default_velocity":0.7,
        "next_label_id":5,
        "analog_modes":{ "i0":"voltage", "i1":"voltage", "o0":"voltage", "o1":"voltage" }
    },
    "waypoints":[
        { "joints":[-0.68147224, 0.3648368, -1.0703622, 9.354615e-05, -2.4358354, -0.6813218], "label_id":3 },
        { "joints":[-0.6350288, 0.25192022, -1.0664424, 0.030407501, -2.2955494, -0.615318], "label_id":2 },
        { "joints":[-0.13414459, 0.5361486, -1.280493, -6.992453e-08, -2.3972468, -0.13414553], "label_id":1 },
        { "joints":[-0.4103904, 0.33332264, -1.5417944, -5.380291e-06, -1.9328799, -0.41031334], "label_id":4 }
    ],
    "timeline":[
        { "type":"home", "waypoint_id":2 },
        { "type":"trajectory", "trajectory":"joint_space", "waypoint_id":1 },
        { "type":"trajectory", "trajectory":"joint_space", "waypoint_id":0 },
        { "type":"trajectory", "trajectory":"joint_space", "waypoint_id":2 }
    ]
}

eva = Eva(host, token)

with eva.lock():
    eva.control_wait_for_ready()
    eva.toolpaths_use(toolpath)
    eva.control_home()
    eva.control_run(loop=1)

Please refer to the examples directory for more SDK usage examples.

eva-sdk.eva_http and eva-sdk.eva_ws

These can be used to interact directly with the HTTP and Websocket APIs. Useful when you don't want the managed websocket connection provided by the eva-sdk.Eva object.

Versioning

To determine which version of the SDK works with your Eva's software version number (found on the Choreograph config page), please use the following chart:

SDK Version	Supported Eva Version
1.x.x	2.0.0 - 2.1.2
2.x.x	3.x.x

For more information on how to install a particular version of the SDK, please refer to the Installation section. We use the Semver version numbering stratergy.

Logging

The SDK uses Debug and Error level logging exclusively. Each Eva instance will log using the name eva-sdk.Eva:<host_name_here>. If you wish to enable the debug logging:

logging.basicConfig(level=logging.DEBUG)

Bugs and feature requests

Please raise any bugs or feature requests as a Github issues. We also gratefully accept pull requests for features and bug fixes.

Testing

$ pipenv shell
$ python -m pytest eva-sdk/<name-of-file-to-test> 

# some test require supplying ip and token via the `--ip` and `--token` arguements
$ python -m pytest eva-sdk/<name-of-file-to-test> --ip 172.16.16.2 --token abc-123-def-456
