Quickstart

Some basic usage is below. The API will change and limited documentation exists, but it works for getting started.

from mebo import Mebo
m = Mebo(auto_connect=True) # discover and connect automatically!
m.move('n', speed=255, dur=1000)  # move forward at max speed for 1 second
m.arm.up(dur=1000) # move the arm up for one second
m.claw.open(dur=1000) # open the claw for one second

Development

Requirements:

• python >= 3.6

To get started with the project:

git clone https://github.com/crlane/python-mebo.git
python -m venv mebo-venv
. mebo-venv/bin/actvate

pip install -e .

To run the tests:

pip install -r test_requirements.txt
py.test

Todo

• [ ] Cleaner API (better subclasses, kwargs for component methods, no metaprogramming)

• [ ] Clean up kwargs inconsistency

• [ ] Better documentation

• [ ] Better tests

• [ ] Media stream (multithreading or asyncio, http with <video> tag)
