MiiPy - MiiA.bit

A Python API Extension to enable support for programming your MiiA.bit robot using the Python programming language.

Getting Started

1. Upload the MiiPy Compatible Firmware to your MiiA.bit Robot
2. Download the miipy_miiabit.py and miia_bit_definitions.py files to your computer
3. Connect your MiiA.bit Robot to your computer via the USB cable and ensure the Bluetooth Control Switch is set to 'Off'

Using the API

Creating a MiiA.bit Object:

import miipy_miiabit.py as miia
device = '/dev/cu.usbserial-DN0123SUBQ'
robot = miia.MiiABit(device=device)

Once the object is created, you have access to various methods that can control various components of the robot:

robot.control_rgb_led(red=12, green=0, blue=90)
robot.control_servo_motor(85)
robot.control_motor(motor='a', direction='forward', speed=19)

You can also get sensor data from the robot and update object attributes:

robot.get_data_from_sensors()
robot.input_button_state # object attribute that stores the input button state
robot.distance_sensor # object attribute that stores the value from the distance sensor

Help

You are encouraged to inspect the miipy_miiabit.py file for helpful docstrings explaining the usage of all the methods and attributes available to you.
