*** Kobukidriver***

Kobukidriver is a python driver for Kobuki quanser qbot2 which helps in control and utilization of the mobile robot.You can build numerous application with the help of the driver.

• Project: https://github.com/jaxram/kobuki
• PyPi: https://pypi.org/project/kobukidriver/

Install using pip:

pip install kobukidriver

kobukidriver works in both windows and linux

• Develop any mobile robot applications
• Gyro sensor data
• Docking IR data
• Inertial sensor data
• Cliff sensor data
• current data
• general purpose input data
• Basic sensor data
• Set/Clear LED
• Set digital output pin
• Control mobile robot speed
• Play inbuilt/custom sounds

Get started by importing the Kobuki class:

#import the kobuki class
from kobukidriver import Kobuki
#create the instance for the kobuki
kobuki_instance=Kobuki()#raise error if kobuki is not connected

Example code for reading basic sensor data from Kobuki robot

from kobukidriver import Kobuki
import time as t
kobuki_instance=Kobuki()

while(1):
    t.sleep(0.2)#delay for fetching data
    basic_sensor_data=kobuki_instance.basic_sensor_data()
    print(basic_sensor_data)#prints the basic sensor data from the robot

Steps for building the mobile robot application using the driver

from kobukidriver import Kobuki
kobuki_instance=Kobuki()
#Don't change the start function name
def start():
    while(1):
        #your logic
kobuki_instance.kobukistart(start)
