RoboClaw Python Library - Team Chat Robotique

An easy-to-install version of Basicmicro's RoboClaw Python library

We want to install and use this code easily on our robots for the French Robotics Cup and for Eurobot, so here is the main file that is distributed by Basicmicro.

All methods in the library have docstrings to help coding and understanding what they are used for. Most docstrings information is based on Basicmicro's User Manual.

Most methods were not tested on a real RoboClaw, at the moment of releasing tcr-roboclaw 0.1.0. If you encounter a bug with the library, feel free to post an issue or a pull request on our repo.

Installation

pip install tcr-roboclaw

Usage

Use tcr-roboclaw by importing the class :

from tcr_roboclaw import Roboclaw

roboclaw = Roboclaw("/dev/ttyACM0", 115200)
roboclaw.open()

:warning: Some method/function names were changed to comply with PEP8 or to make them more explicit (Explicit is better than implicit.). Double-check that you use the right methods when using this library with code that was written with the original RoboClaw Python library :warning:

Contributing
