Micro:bit TinyBit BLE Python Library

A Python package to control a custom Robot V2 via Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) communication. The package provides an API for controlling the robot's movements and LED colors.

Installation

This project uses Poetry for package management. Install Poetry if you haven't already.

To install the package and its dependencies, run:

poetry install

Usage

The example.py script demonstrates how to use the package to control the robot.

from weallcode_robot import Robot

robot = Robot("WAC")

robot.led(255, 0, 0)        # Set the LED color to red
robot.move(100, 100)        # Move forward
robot.wait(2)               # Wait for 2 seconds
robot.move(0, 0)            # Stop the robot
robot.move(-100, 100)       # Turn the robot
robot.wait(0.25)            # Wait for 0.25 seconds
robot.move(100, 100)        # Move forward
robot.wait(1)               # Wait for 1 second
robot.move(0, 0)            # Stop the robot
robot.move(-100, -100)      # Move backward
robot.wait(1)               # Wait for 1 second
robot.move(0, 0)            # Stop the robot

robot.led(0, 0, 0)          # Turn off the LED

a = robot.setKeyBinding('a').led(0, 0, 255, 1) # set LED color one button A
w = robot.setKeyBinding('w').move(100, 100)    # bind move forward to key W

API

Robot

The Robot class is the main class to control the robot. Instantiate the class with the name of the robot.

robot = Robot("WAC")

Methods

• led(red: int, green: int, blue: int, duration: int): Sets the LED color. Values should be integers between 0 and 255.
• move(left: int, right: int, duration: int): Sets the motor speeds. Values should be integers between -100 and 100.
• wait(duration: float): Adds a wait command with a given duration in seconds.
• run(): Executes the commands in the order they were added.

Development

The package includes development dependencies:

• black: Code formatter
• pre-commit: Pre-commit hooks for code formatting and linting
• isort: Import sorter
• ruff: Linter

To install the development dependencies, run:

poetry install --extras dev

To run the pre-commit hooks, first install them:

pre-commit install

Then run:

pre-commit run --all-files
