Demo

For the best understanding start jupyter-notebook and take a look at belt_control.ipynb

# Install jupyter-notebook
pip3 install jupyter

# Start jupyter-notebook in this repository
jupyter-notebook .

# open belt_control.ipynb

Controlling script is not yet implemented. Play with the notebook.

The main controller class is Controller in pad.py

Controller

Controller enables to control the belt via CLI shell.

Start controller:

Due to nature of the BluetoothLE callbacks being executed on the main thread we cannot use readline to read from the console. (At least I have currently no idea how to do it).
