mote_link

Python client for talking to Mote robots over the network.

mote_link handles discovery (via mDNS), connection, and message serialization / deserialization.

Installation

pip install mote_link

Add the demo extra (pip install mote_link[demo]) to also install rerun-sdk and pyglet, needed only by the bundled rerun-demo example.

Example

import asyncio

from mote_link import MoteClient, SetDriveBaseVelocity, DriveBaseState


async def main():
    async with MoteClient() as mote:
        # Opens an interactive prompt if the robot's IP or UID isn't known.
        await mote.connect()

        # Drive both wheels forward.
        await mote.send(SetDriveBaseVelocity(left_velocity_rad_per_s=1.0, right_velocity_rad_per_s=1.0))

        # Read messages from the robot.
        message = await mote.recv()
        if isinstance(message, DriveBaseState):
            print(f"left: {message.left}, right: {message.right}")


asyncio.run(main())
