Features

• Control motor speeds, servo angles, and other robotic components.
• Read sensor data and system information from the Wave Rover.
• Manage wireless connections, including WiFi scanning and connection.
• Simplified interface for robust serial communication with the robot.

Installation

To install wave_rover_serial, use the following pip command:

pip install wave_rover_serial

Dependencies

• pyserial: This is required for handling serial communication with the robot.

Usage

Here's a quick example of how to use the wave_rover_serial package:

from wave_rover_serial import Robot

# Initialize the Robot with the appropriate serial port and baud rate
robot = Robot('/dev/ttyUSB0')

# Connect to the robot
robot.connect()

# Send a command to set motor speeds
robot.speed_input(left_speed=100, right_speed=100)

# Send a command to get the IMU information and read the response
data = robot.imu_info()
print(data)

# Safely disconnect when done
robot.disconnect()

You can also use the with statement to automatically connect and disconnect from the robot:

from wave_rover_serial import Robot

# Initialize the Robot with the appropriate serial port and baud rate
with Robot('/dev/ttyUSB0') as robot:
    # Send a command to set motor speeds
    robot.speed_input(left_speed=100, right_speed=100)

    # Send a command to get the IMU information and read the response
    data = robot.imu_info()
    print(data)

Documentation

Each method within the Robot class is designed to interact with specific functionalities of the Wave Rover robotic system. Detailed descriptions and usage instructions for each method can be found in the module's documentation.
