nxt-python is a python 2.x driver/interface for the Lego Mindstorms NXT robot.
|
|
|
|
Setup
|
|
------
|
|
|
|
In order to use nxt-python with an NXT kit, you should add a 'lego' group to your system, and add yourself to that group:
|
|
|
|
# groupadd lego
|
|
# usermod -a -G lego YourUserName
|
|
|
|
You will also want to set up a udev rule to identify NXT hardware and grant the 'lego' group permission to use it.
|
|
|
|
A sample rule is included for you in /usr/share/nxt-python, but you may want to verify the vendor code of the NXT unit.
|
|
|
|
To verify the vendor code, connect the NXT hardware to your computer and then run:
|
|
|
|
lsusb
|
|
|
|
Look at the ID for the Lego device; it will probably be 0694, but if not, then change the value in the sample udev rule to match.
|
|
|
|
Save the sample udev rule (70-lego.rules) to /etc/udev/rules.d/
|
|
|
|
Log out and log back in, and you should now have full control, via Python, over your NXT hardware.
