Remote Interface for CortexNanoBridge

Cortano

Remote Interface for CortexNanoBridge

To install on your laptop/desktop:

python3 -m pip install .

Example Program

To start a program to connect to your robot, first get the ip address from your Jetson Nano. This can be done by first going to the Jetson Nano and typing the following into a new terminal:

ifconfig

Your IP Address should be the IPv4 address (ie. 172.168.0.2) under wlan0.

Then, go to your laptop/desktop. After installing this repository (located above), you can now write a program to connect to your robot:

from cortano import RemoteInterface

if __name__ == "__main__":
  robot = RemoteInterface("172.168.0.2") # remember to put your ip here
  while True:
    robot.update() # required

To control a robot, set the motor values (0-10) to anywhere between [-127, 127]

from cortano import RemoteInterface

if __name__ == "__main__":
  robot = RemoteInterface("172.168.0.2")
  while True:
    robot.update()
    
    forward = robot.keys["w"] - robot.keys["s"]
    robot.motor[0] = forward * 64
    robot.motor[9] = forward * 64

To get the color and depth frames, as well as other sensor data (up to 20) from the robot, just read()

from cortano import RemoteInterface

if __name__ == "__main__":
  robot = RemoteInterface("172.168.0.2")
  while True:
    robot.update()
    
    color, depth, sensors = robot.read()

That's it!
