nor1029-controller

Programmatically control the Norsonic Nor265 microphone boom / turntable

Install

pip install nor1029-controller

Usage

from nor1029_controller import Nor265

with Nor265('/dev/serial.0') as nor:
    nor.rotate(180, speed=10, acceleration=2)

API

Nor265(port)

port

The serial port to connect to.

nor

Nor265 instance.

.angle

readonly

Optional parameters will default to whatever was previously set.

.rotate(angle, speed?, acceleration?)

.rotate_relative(angle, speed?, acceleration?)

.start_sweep(start_angle, stop_angle, period, acceleration?)

Oscillate between two angles.

.start_continuous_rotation(direction, speed?, acceleration?)

from nor1029_controller import Nor265, RotationDirection
import time

with Nor265() as nor:
    nor.start_continuous_rotation(
        direction=RotationDirection.CLOCKWISE,
        speed=10,
        acceleration=2
    )

    # Rotate for 5 seconds
    time.sleep(5)

    nor.stop()

.start_rotate(angle, speed?, acceleration?)

.start_rotate_relative(angle, speed?, acceleration?)

The start_* methods will return when the movement starts, while the regular methods will also wait for the movement to finish.

.stop()

Stop any ongoing movement.

.go_home()

Rotate back to the home position.

.is_moving

readonly

.close()

If you're not using a context manager, you should instead call this method when you are done.

from nor1029_controller import Nor265

nor = Nor265('/dev/serial.0')

nor.rotate(180, speed=10, acceleration=2)

nor.close()

.wait_stopped(timeout?, poll_interval?)

Wait until it is not moving.

.rotate() and .rotate_relative() do this automatically.

timeout

The maximum time to wait in seconds.

Default: None (no timeout)

poll_interval

The interval between each check in seconds.

Default: 0.01 (10 milliseconds)

from nor1029_controller import Nor265

with Nor265('/dev/serial.0') as nor:
    nor.start_rotate(180, speed=10, acceleration=2)
    
    # ...
    
    nor.wait_stopped(timeout=10)

list_ports()

Scan for available serial ports (according to their description).

from nor1029_controller import Nor265, list_ports

# Pick first serial port
port = list_ports()[0].device

with Nor265(port) as nor:
    nor.rotate(180, speed=10, acceleration=2)

RotationDirection

Enum

• CLOCKWISE
• COUNTER_CLOCKWISE
