Installation

pip install robot-birdbrain

You can also install the in-development version with:

pip install https://github.com/fmorton/robot-birdbrain/archive/main.zip

Hummingbird Example

from robot.hummingbird import Hummingbird
from time import sleep

hummingbird = Hummingbird('A')

for i in range(0, 10):
  hummingbird.led(1, 100)
  sleep(0.1)

  hummingbird.led(1, 0)
  sleep(0.1)

  hummingbird.stop_all()

Finch Example

from robot.finch import Finch
from time import sleep

finch = Finch('A')

for i in range(0, 10):
  finch.beak(100, 100, 100)
  sleep(0.1)

  finch.beak(0, 0, 0)
  sleep(0.1)

finch.stop_all()

Tasks Example (requires the robot-tasks package)

from robot.hummingbird import Hummingbird
from robot.tasks import Tasks

async def task_1(bird):
  while True:
    print("task_1 running")

    await Tasks.yield_task(1.0)


async def task_2(bird):
  while True:
    print("task_2 running")

    await Tasks.yield_task(0.5)


bird = Hummingbird("A")

tasks = Tasks()

tasks.create_task(task_1(bird))
tasks.create_task(task_2(bird))

tasks.run()
