Documentation

The Motion Master branch of the documentation department is currently working on something better, but here's an example to get you started.

from motion_master_bindings.motion_master_bindings import MotionMasterBindings
from motion_master_proto.motion_master_pb2 import MotionMasterMessage

mmb = MotionMasterBindings('127.0.0.1')
mmb.connect()
mmb.get_dealer_subject().subscribe(
    lambda message: print("Message: {}".format(message)))

message = MotionMasterMessage()
message.request.get_system_version.SetInParent()
mmb.send_message(message)

You should get a response printed from the DEALER subject:

Message: [b'\xb2\x06\x12\xb2\x06\x0f\n\r3.0.0-alpha.1']
