Control robot in Playground using Python

Oka Kurniawan 03 Aug 2017 08:23

Hi,
I have read some thread that we can use Python to control Thymio. I managed to create a small Python library following the thread in this forum to control Thymio However, I would like also to use Python to control the robot in the Playground as a simulator. Can anyone advise how to start doing about this? Thanks.

Hi,
I noticed that when I started the playground it is waiting for connection from tcp port 33333. So in Python I can open this socket port and connect. Can someone advise what kind of messages that Playground send or receive to control the robot there?

If you opened a playground containing a simulated Thymio robot,as its API is the same a physical Thymio, the messages sent and received are the same as for a real Thymio.

You can find examples of using Aseba with Python here:
examples in the github repository
example on the wiki
