# ev3dev_pymotor

Simple way of controlling motors of NXT Ev3 using ev3dev via python wirelessly

Made for the Jessie release of ev3dev (20 May 2015)

**By default the script checks for motors plugged into ports A and B**

# Usage

## Testing motor on ev3dev

**Make sure one motor is plugged into port A**

```python

import time

from ev3dev_pymotor import *

motor = ev3dev_pymotor('outA') # Or outB, outC, outD ...

# Rotations per second

motor.set_rps(0.5)

motor.run_forever()

time.sleep(5)

motor.stop()

```

### Establishing TCP communication between desired device and ev3

Step 1.

Execute setup_server.py on the ev3

```python

python setup_server.py

```

Step 2.

Execute setup_client.py [ip address] on desired device to communicate with ev3

```python

python setup_client.py xxx.xxx.x.xx # where xxx.xxx.x.xx is the ip address of the ev3

```

Step 3.

Run the list of commands on the desired device:

```python

format: [left|right|None] command_to_execute

# Examples

run_forever # (runs all specified motors forever)

stop # (stops all specified motors)

left run_forever # (runs the left motor forever)

right change_rps(1.0) # (changes the right motor's rotation per second to '1' and runs it)

left change_rps(0.5) # (changes the left motor's rotation per second to '0.5' and runs it)

```

# List of available commands

```python

/quit # terminates connection on both end

run_forever # Runs motor forever

stop # stops motor

change_rps(x) # Changes motor rotation per second to 'x' AND runs it

set_rps(x) # Sets motor rotation per second to 'x' but DOESN'T run it

toggle # Toggles motors direction

run_to_rel_position(x) # Runs motor to relative position 'x'

```
