10.Read data

1. Experimental goals

This course mainly learns how to read the robot's battery power, servo angle, IMU data and other parameters.

2. Experiment preparation

The functions of the Muto robot Python library involved in this course are as follows:

read_version()：Read the underlying firmware version number. If the read is successful, the version number will be returned. If the read fails, None will be returned.

read_battery(voltage=True)：Read the battery power. The optional parameter voltage=True returns the voltage value, and voltage=False returns the battery percentage.

read_motor():Read eighteen servo angle values. An array is returned if the read is successful, and None is returned if the read fails.

read_leg(leg_id): Read the angle of the servo on a certain leg. The value range of the parameter leg_id is [1-6], which means leg1~leg6. An array is returned if the read is successful, and None is returned if the read fails.

read_IMU(): Read the angle after IMU fusion. If the reading is successful, an array [roll, pitch, yaw, temp] will be returned. If the reading fails, None will be returned.

read_IMU_Raw(): Read the original data of the IMU. If the reading is successful, an array [accX, accY, accZ, gyroX, gyroY, gyroZ, magX, magY, magZ] will be returned. If the reading fails, None will be returned.

3. Experiment procedure

Open the jupyterLab client and find the code path:

x
muto/Samples/Control/10.read_data.ipynb

Read and print the version number:

xxxxxxxxxx
version = g_bot.read_version()
print("version:", version)

Read and print battery voltage:

xxxxxxxxxx
battery = g_bot.read_battery()
print("battery:%.1fV" % battery)

Read and print 18 servo angle values. Since the servo is subject to factors such as pressure and conversion accuracy, there may be a certain error between the read angle and the actual angle. A deviation of ±3° from the actual angle is normal.

xxxxxxxxxx
angle = g_bot.read_motor()
print("angle:", angle)

Read and print the three servo angles on leg 1. Since the servo will be subject to factors such as pressure and conversion accuracy, there may be a certain error between the read angle and the actual angle. A deviation of ±3° from the actual angle is normal.

xxxxxxxxxx
leg_id = 1
leg_angle = g_bot.read_leg(leg_id)
print("leg_angle:", leg_angle)

Read and print the IMU fused data:

xxxxxxxxxx
imu = g_bot.read_IMU()
print("imu:", imu)

Read and print IMU raw data:

xxxxxxxxxx
imu_raw = g_bot.read_IMU_Raw()
print("imu_raw:", imu_raw)

4. Experiment summary

Example of reading the battery voltage value. If you need to read the battery percentage, you can pass the parameter False.
