wonderpy's Issues

Clear instruction

There are no clear instruction like for the eyeing is saying (pattern and brightens) how many arguments and how to write it

Failing install on Linux (Debian)

I'm trying to install this on a Debian 9. Installation is failing with the following:

Support for accessing microphone(s) data

Should include but is not necessarily limited to:

• voice vs. clap
• direction of sound

Install the Adafruit_Python_BluefruitLE in your virtualenv

When I installed the Adafruit_Python_BluefruitLE outside of my virtualenv, the example program could not find it.

Running

pip install git+git://github.com/playi/Adafruit_Python_BluefruitLE@928669a#egg=Adafruit_BluefruitLE

after

virtualenv --python=/usr/bin/python2.7 --no-site-packages venv

worked better for me.

Port to Linux

this may function with the current AdaFruit library, we haven't had a chance to test.

Uncaught exception OC_PythonException

When running the example on Mac 11.6.1 with python 3.8.2, the following exception occurs the moment Dash is switched on.

Port to Windows

the trick here is a BTLE python library.

Mac OS? More like POO OS!

I was planning to use this because your crappy program doesn't support threads. But oh no no, you think Mac OS is just too good. I can't use this for my class because we use the superior Windows OS here

I bet your API Isn't even updated to work with Mac OS Mojave you silly Mountain Lion nerd.

Python 3 Compatibility

I am using MacOS 11.1 and Python 3.9.1 64-bit. When I try to import WonderPy, I get an error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<pyshell#0>", line 1, in <module>
    import WonderPy
  File "/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.9/lib/python3.9/site-packages/WonderPy/__init__.py", line 1, in <module>

    from wwCommands  import WWCommands  # noqa
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'wwCommands'

Is there a way to use this package in Python 3?

Failing find the Dash through BTLE

I'm using Mac 10.13 and 10.14 ,but they both can't recognize the Dash through BlueTeeth
Please help me

typing mistake in WonderPy.md

"distance_front_rear" should read "distance_rear"
and "robot.sensors.distance_front_rear" should read "robot.sensors.distance_rear"

Move from Python 2.7 to Python 3.

There's a couple motivations for this, from most significant to least, imo:

• python 3 offers more modern concurrency models,
  which would allow us to move away from the Threads currently in use in the examples.
• python 3 has broader current adoption and is more standard currently.

I attempted this, but my python-foo ran out in getting the AdaFruit library to work with Python 3.
However it seems like that should not be an exotic use-case, so perhaps there's something obvious i'm missing.

Windows world.

When is WonderPy comes to windows world? Can you please guide me how to use, if support already exists for Windows.

List Xcode requirement in documentation

XCode with Command Line Tools is a requirement of PyObjC, and should be listed in the documentation under Install dependencies.

flesh out github 'community profile'

https://github.com/playi/WonderPy/community

flesh out docstrings

many functions still need docstrings

Clean up prefixes...

It'd be great if we could eliminate some of the extra name spacing in the code. E.g. in wwConstants.py it seems like prefixing all the class constant members with ww is redundant. Additionally, it'd be great to also remove the ww from the name of the file, too.

Improve/Streamline pip installation

Currently pip install WonderPy does not install the AdaFruit dependency, and pip install -r requirements.txt needs to be manually executed.
This is because of my limited python-foo in the face of requiring wonder-workshop's custom fork of the AdaFruit package.

Support multiple robot connections

Current the API simply connects to the single robot which best satisfies the conditions. (Robot type, Robot Name, Signal Strength).

An option for extending this might be to have multiple 'robot specifiers' on the command-line, so that we could require one Dash and one Dot, for example.

eg instead of separate top-level options for --connect-type, --connect-name, it could be multiple --connect arguments, each of which is compound:
--connect "num:2 type:dash" --connect "type:dot".
That example would require connection to 2 dash robots and one dot robot.

Sounds!

Hi! Is there any way to play a sound on Dash from the API? If you can, can you play an mp3 file on Dash?

virtualenv issues

virtualenv --python=/usr/bin/python2.7 --no-site-packages venv

It says that --no-site-packages was not a valid argument so we went with

virtualenv --python=/usr/bin/python2.7 venv

Unable to import module: Adafruit_BluefruitLE.

When I tried to run the first example program, it says that I should import this library manually. Not sure how to do this.

robot.commands.body.do_turn(angle, speed) misbehaves

I use wonderpy on a Dash robot. On robot.commands.body.do_turn(angle, speed) it turns by seemingly random speed and angle.

investigate anomalous high sensor latency

typically we see about 30ms between sensor packets, but sometimes longer, up to 200ms.

one idea is try changing the renegotiated connection interval from 12ms to 15ms.

note that connection interval != sensor interval.
