A python library for controlling the iRobot Create 2
Create2API is made to give simple access to basic, often used functions on the iRobot Create 2. It keeps all the important info about your Create 2 in an easy to access JSON file.
Create2API has a lot of checks in place to make sure you don't send a bad command to your robot. If something won't work, Create2API will let you know!
Create2API is meant to be interacted with through a single class: "Create2". Interacting with your bot is a breeze
The Serial-USB port is currently hardcoded. Contributions for automatically finding the port are welcome.
import create2api
import time
#Create a Create2. This will automatically try to connect to your
# robot over serial
bot = create2api.Create2()
#Start the Create2
bot.start()
#Put the Create2 into 'safe' mode so we can drive it
bot.safe()
#Tell the Create2 to drive straight forward at a speed of 100 mm/s
bot.drive_straight(100)
#Wait for 5 seconds
time.sleep(5)
#Tell the Create2 to drive straight backward at a speed of 100 mm/s
bot.drive_straight(-100)
#Wait for 5 seconds
time.sleep(5)
#Stop the bot
bot.drive_straight(0)
#Close the connection
bot.destroy()- Start
