pyrobotiqtactile 0.1.2

Python support for the Robotiq TSF-85 tactile sensor

pyRobotiqTactile

A Python package for communicating with the Robotiq TSF-85 tactile sensor.

The project focuses on a public RobotiqTactileSensor class that provides:

• serial communication setup
• sensor configuration and autosend control
• pressure-frame decoding as NumPy arrays
• accelerometer and gyroscope access
• a structured SensorReading container for the decoded data

Installation

pip install pyrobotiqtactile

For local development:

uv sync
uv run python -m unittest discover -s tests -v

Quick start

Explicit connection

If you already know the port name:

from pyrobotiqtactile import RobotiqTactileSensor

sensor = RobotiqTactileSensor()
sensor.connect("COM3")
sensor.configure(update_period_ms=50, synchronous=True)

reading = sensor.read_frame()
print(reading.pressure.shape)
print(sensor.get_imu())

Package structure

• protocol.py: low-level packet framing and parsing
• data.py: NumPy-friendly decoded sensor containers
• sensor.py: high-level RobotiqTactileSensor API

Development

uv sync
uv build
uv run python -m unittest discover -s tests -v
