Documentation
-------------------

**Note:** This re-write is still very early and not fully running yet, just
parts.

Install
-----------

linux
~~~~~~~~

You will also need::

	pip install ds4drv

pip
~~~~~

The recommended way to install this library is::

	pip install quadruped

Development
~~~~~~~~~~~~~

If you wish to develop and submit git-pulls, you can do::

	git clone https://github.com/MomsFriendlyRobotCompany/quadruped
	cd quadruped
	pip install -e .

Testing
~~~~~~~~~

Since I have both python2 and python3 installed, I need to test with both::

	python2 -m nose *.py
	python3 -m nose *.py

Layout
------------

Here is *sort* of the layout of the code:

- Quadruped (*see examples folders*):
	- Engine(serial)
	- AHRS() - tilt compensated compass
	- IMU() - NXP IMU from Adafruit
	- MCP3208() - ADC for IR and whatever else
	- Gait:
		- command() - plans all feet through 1 gait cycle (12 steps)
		- eachLeg(x,y,z)

- Engine({serial}): - handles movement hardware
	- legs[4]
		- servos[3]
			- angle
			- setServoLimits()
			- bulkWrite() - change to sync
		- coxa, femur, tibia
		- fk()
		- ik()
		- moveFoot(x,y,z)
		- moveFootAngle(a,b,c)

The example quadruped (in the examples folder), takes a dictionary. Currently
it takes::

	data = {
		'serialPort': '/dev/tty.usbserial-AL034G2K',
		'write': 'bulk'
	}

If you don't pass it a serial port, then it falls back to a simulated serial
port (which does nothing) which is useful for testing.

Tools
---------

This directory contains several tools for the robot:
