Artie Max Python Library

This is a library to control your Artie Max from the Python programming language, based on the Mirobot Python library. It has a simple API which mirrors the basic movements that Artie Max can do. Here's a sample program that runs through the API:

import artiemax

# Connect to Artie Max, disconnecting automatically once the with statement exits
with artiemax.Artiemax() as artie:
  # Put the pen down
  artie.pendown(1)

  # Move forward 100mm
  artie.forward(100)

  # Move back 100mm
  artie.back(100)

  # Turn left 45 degrees
  artie.left(45)

  # Turn right 45 degrees
  artie.right(45)

  # Lift the pen up
  artie.penup()

  # Play a sound
  artie.beep(1)

The API can be used in a chained method style:

with artiemax.Artiemax() as artie:
  # Put the pen down, set the unit to inches, move forward then back
  artie.pendown(1).inches().forward(4).back(4).penup()

The IP address or hostname can be provided; 192.168.4.1 is the default:

with artiemax.Artiemax('local.artiemax.io') as artie:
   artie.forward(40)
