TPBot Samples for Python

Add Python File​

Download to unzip it: EF_Produce_MicroPython-master Go to Python editor

We need to add TPBot.py for programming. Click "Load/Save" and then click "Show Files (1)" to see more choices, click "Add file" to add TPBot.py from the unzipped package of EF_Produce_MicroPython-master.

Samples​

Sample 1: Drive the car at a full speed.​

from microbit import *
from TPBot import *

tp = TPBOT()
tp.set_motors_speed(100,100)

  • Result​

    The speed of the left and right wheels is at 100, the car moves forward at the full speed.

Sample 2: Turn the headlights on in random colors​

from microbit import *
from TPBot import *
import random

tp = TPBOT()

while True:
    R = random.randint(0,255);
    G = random.randint(0,255);
    B = random.randint(0,255);
    tp.set_car_light(R,G,B)
    sleep(500)

Result​

The headlights light up in different colours at random.

Sample 3: Obstacles avoidance​

from microbit import *
from TPBot import *

tp = TPBOT()
while True:
    i = tp.get_distance(0)
    if i>3 and i<30:
        tp.set_motors_speed(-50, 50)
        sleep(500)
    else:
        tp.set_motors_speed(50, 50)

Result​

The TPBot turns its direction once it detects any obstacle ahead of it.

from microbit import *
from TPBot import *

tp = TPBOT()
while True:

    i = tp.get_tracking()
    if i == 10:
        tp.set_motors_speed(10, 50)
    if i == 1:
        tp.set_motors_speed(50, 10)
    if i == 11:
        tp.set_motors_speed(25, 25)

Result​

The TPBot drives along with the black line.

Sample 5: Control the servo​

from microbit import *
from TPBot import *

tp = TPBOT()
while True:
    tp.set_servo(1,180)
    sleep(1000)
    tp.set_servo(1,0)
    sleep(1000)

Result​

  • The servo connecting to S1 continues driving back and forth.
