Some example commands for controlling a robot in Pyro

Setting the motor speeds
------------------------

robot.translate(0.1)     # moves robot forward at speed 0.1
robot.rotate(0.3)        # rotates robot at speed 0.3
robot.stop()             # stops the robot
robot.move(0.3, -0.1)    # sets forward speed and rotation speed
robot.motors(1, -1)      # sets motor speeds individually

translate, rotate, and motor speeds range from -1 to +1

Reading the sensors
-------------------

robot.range.count    # the number of sonar sensors on the robot
robot.range.units    # the units used for reporting sensor readings

robot.range[0]                   # sonar sensor #0
robot.range[0].  (hit TAB key)   # shows possible command completions

# gives a distance reading from sonar sensor #0 (in ROBOT units)
robot.range[0].distance()

# a list of sensors #2 through #5
robot.range[2:6]

# a list of distance readings for sensors #2-5
[s.distance() for s in robot.range[2:6]]

# a list of distance readings for sensors in 'front-all' group
[s.distance() for s in robot.range['front-all']]

# minimum distance reading for 'front-all' sensor group
min([s.distance() for s in robot.range['front-all']])
