Quick Example
Here is a simple example to get started:
import ilo
import time
ilo.check_robot_on_bluetooth()
# ilo.check_robot_on_wifi() # Make sure you are connected to the robot's Wi-Fi AP
my_ilo = ilo.robot("my-robot")
# Go forward until an obstacle is close
while my_ilo.get_distance_front() > 30:
my_ilo.move("front", 10, 50)
time.sleep(0.1)
my_ilo.stop() # Stop the robot
my_ilo.step("rot_clock") # Rotate clockwise
my_ilo.set_led_color(25, 200, 25)
my_ilo.step("front", 0.5)
