### Introduction
|
||||
|
||||
Test
|
||||
The Python libraries for the 640 board and some example scripts are available via our GitHub repository. To install them open a terminal window on your Raspberry Pi (unless you are running with only the command line) and enter the following:
|
||||
|
||||
``` bash
|
||||
git clone https://github.com/darkwaterfoundation/darkwater_python_640.git
|
||||
$ git clone https://github.com/darkwaterfoundation/darkwater_python_640.git
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Import libraries
|
||||
### Example scripts
|
||||
|
||||
Now that you have downloaded the 640 libraries you should have a new directory called **darkwater_python_640**, so let's move into that directory
|
||||
|
||||
``` bash
|
||||
$ cd ./darkwater_python_640
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
If you list the files in this directory, you should see a few test scripts
|
||||
|
||||
``` bash
|
||||
$ ls -al
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
#### 640motortest.py
|
||||
|
||||
This script will start each motor port, in the forwards direction, in turn from left to right and then do the same backwards. To run the script enter the following:
|
||||
|
||||
``` bash
|
||||
$ python 640motortest.py
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
#### 640servotest.py
|
||||
|
||||
This script will move any servos connected to the servo headers left, then center, then right. To run the script enter the following:
|
||||
|
||||
``` bash
|
||||
$ python 640servotest.py
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
#### 640steppertest.py
|
||||
|
||||
This script divides the 6 motor ports into 3 stepper motor ports. Motor 1 and 2 will be stepper 1, motor 3 and 4 will be stepper 2 and motor 5 and 6 will be stepper 3.
|
||||
|
||||
Each stepper will be moved forwards and backwards through 200 steps when the test script is run:
|
||||
|
||||
``` bash
|
||||
$ python 640steppertest.py
|
||||
```
