# go1pylib: Python Library for Go1 Robot Control
[](https://pypi.org/project/go1pylib/)


go1pylib is a Python library designed for controlling the Go1 robot, providing high-level methods for robot movement, state management, and collision avoidance. With built-in functionality for MQTT communication and control modes, go1pylib is ideal for both development and research in robotics.
---
## :star2: Features
- **Robot Control**: Control Go1's movements including forward, backward, turns, and pose adjustments.
- **Battery Monitoring**: Real-time battery status with configurable LED indicators.
- **LED Control**: Customizable LED color control based on robot state or custom feedback.
- **MQTT Communication**: Reliable MQTT communication for Go1 state management and control.
- **Multiple Control Modes**: Switch modes such as WALK, STAND for various scenarios.
## :rocket: Installation
Install the latest version of go1pylib with pip:
```bash
pip install go1pylib
```
## :computer: Usage
Here's an example to get started:
```python
import asyncio
from go1pylib import Go1, Go1Mode
async def main():
robot = Go1()
robot.init() # Connect to the robot
# Set to WALK mode and move forward
robot.set_mode(Go1Mode.WALK)
await robot.go_forward(speed=0.3, duration_ms=1000)
# Check battery status
battery_level = robot.get_battery_level()
print(f"Battery Level: {battery_level}%")
# Stop and disconnect
robot.set_mode(Go1Mode.STAND_DOWN)
robot.disconnect()
asyncio.run(main())
```
It is recommended to try out the programs under `examples/`
