# pyServos

**Still under development**
**Starting to add XL-430 servo**

- pyservos
    - **ServoSerial** - half duplex hardware serial interface using DTR from a USB serial port
    - **PiServoSerial** - half duplex hardware serial interface using a HW pin
    - **utils** - misc
    - **XL320** - register/command/error definitions for Dynamixel's XL-320 servo
    - **AX12** - register/command/error definitions for Dynamixel's AX-12A servo
    - **XL430** - register/command/error definitions for Dynamixel's AX-12A servo

# Setup

## Install

The suggested way to install this is via the `pip` command as follows::

    pip install pyservos

## Development

I am currently using [poetry](https://python-poetry.org/) for my library and using
`pyproject.toml`. To submit git pulls, clone the repository and set it up as
follows:

    git clone https://github.com/MultipedRobotics/pyservos
    cd pyservos
    poetry install
    poety run pytest

# Usage

The `\bin` directory has a number of useful programs to set servo position or ID number. Just
run the command with the `--help` flag to see how to use it.

- `servoAX12`
- `servoXL320`
- `servoXL430`

 - servoXXX
    - **ping**: find servos on bus, ID[int|**None**]
    - **reboot**: reboot a servo, ID[int|**None**]
    - **reset**: reset a servo, ID[int], level[int]
    - **angle**: set new angle in degrees or radians, angle[float], radians[True|**False**]
    - **baudrate**: set new baudrate, rate[int]
    - **id**: set new ID, current_id[int], new_id[int]
- Values
    - ID: 1-254
    - level: 1 (all), 2(all but ID), 3 (all but ID and baudrate)
    - angle: 0-300 degrees
    - rate: 1000000 is default
    - None: if you leave out the value, there is a default that occurs which is safe

# Documentation

- [AX-12A Servo](https://github.com/MomsFriendlyRobotCompany/pyservos/tree/master/docs/ax12)
- [XL-320 Servo](https://github.com/MomsFriendlyRobotCompany/pyservos/tree/master/docs/xl320)
- [XL-430 Servo](https://github.com/MomsFriendlyRobotCompany/pyservos/tree/master/docs/xl430)

A simple example to turn the servo and turn the LED on using a USB serial converter:

```python
# Run an AX-12 servo
from pyservos.servo_serial import ServoSerial
from pyservos.ax12 import AX12

serial = ServoSerial('/dev/tty.usbserial')  # tell it what port you want to use
# serial = ServoSerial('dummy')  # use a dummy serial interface for testing
serial.open()

ax = AX12()
pkt = ax.makeServoPacket(1, 158.6)  # move servo 1 to 158.6 degrees
ret = serial.sendPkt(pkt)  # send packet, I don't do anything with the returned status packet

pkt = ax.makeLEDPacket(1, AX12.LED_ON)
ret = serial.sendPkt(pkt)
```

Although I have made some packet creators (like LED and Servo), you can make
your own using the basic `makeWritePacket` and `makeReadPacket`.

```python
# Run an XL-320 servo
from pyservos.xl320 import XL320
from pyservos.utils import angle2int

xl = XL320()

# let's make our own servo packet that sends servo 3 to 220.1 degrees
ID = 3
reg = XL320.GOAL_POSITION
params = angle2int(220.1)  # convert 220.1 degrees to an int between 0-1023
pkt = xl.makeWritePacket(ID, reg, params)
```
