Teacher commands

Here are the building blocks from the teacher.py file you can use in your challenges. For example, use self.fwd() to drive your robot forward.

• deg_fwd(angle) - how many degrees do you want your wheels to rotate? You need to pass the angle

• turn_to_deg(angle) - rotates to the given angle as calculated by the piggy's gyroscope

• turn_by_deg(angle) - turns relative to it's current heading. Positive values rotate right and negative rotate left

• fwd - powers on your robot to drive forward. You'll need to use self.stop() to power off the motors

• right - by default, self.right() will give the left motor 90% power and the right 0% which rotates right. You can use kwargs to adjust the power such as self.right(primary=90, counter=-90), which will spin the robot in place

• left - same as right but reversed.

• back - same as fwd but in reverse.

• servo - moves the servo (plugged into servo1) to the given value (use 1000 - 2000)

• stop - sets motor power to zero

• read_distance - returns the distance from the distance sensor (plugged into I2C port) in millimeters

• get_heading - returns the gyroscope's value
