Python Library for Robotics Cape on Beaglebone Black and Beaglebone Blue
Project description
Release 0.3
This is a Python library with bindings for some of the functionality of the Robotics Cape library.
We only support Python 3, and are not interested in Python 2 at all.
Not all functions are supported. Currently supported functions are:
MPU9250
PWM motors
Encoders
LEDs
Buttons
GPIO inputs
You might also be interested in the pyctrl package (github, PyPI).
Preliminaries
You will need the Robotics Cape library version 0.3.4 or higher. Depending on the image you have on your Beaglebone Black or Blue it might already be installed! You can check if it is installed and the current version by running
rc_version
on your Beaglebone. Follow these instructions if the command rc_version is not found to install the library or update it if you have an older version.
You must also have python3 installed. If you have not installed python3 yet type
sudo apt install python3 python3-pip
to install python3 and pip3.
Installation
Starting with version 0.3, rcpy is available from PyPI. Just type
sudo pip3 install rcpy
to download and install.
