nor1029-controller 0.4.0

Programmatically control Norsonic Nor1029

nor1029-controller

Programmatically control Norsonic Nor265 microphone boom / turntable

The Nor265(A) microphone boom / turntable can be controlled by its proprietary Nor1029 software (see downloads section of product page). You can instead control the hardware programmatically over serial using this library.

Install

pip install nor1029-controller

Usage

from nor1029_controller import Nor265

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

API

Nor265(port?, timeout?)

port

The serial port to connect to.

timeout

Timeout for operations in seconds.

Default: 300 (5 minutes)

nor

Nor265 instance.

.angle

readonly

Optional parameters will default to whatever was previously set.

.rotate(angle, speed?, acceleration?)

.rotate_relative(angle, speed?, acceleration?)

.sweep(start_angle, stop_angle, duration, 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?)

.start_sweep(start_angle, stop_angle, duration, 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()

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

nor.close()

RotationDirection

Enum

• CLOCKWISE
• COUNTER_CLOCKWISE
