Vector¶

Anki is a company whose products always seem to delight.

Codelab Adapter is a software that connect Scratch 3.0 to the open-source hardware, IoT and AI.

We make a Codelab Adapter extension to connect Vector to Scratch 3.0. It just like Cozmo codelab.

Now the Vector extension is built into the Codelab Adapter!

for MacOS/Linux¶

Tutorial¶

install codelab_adapter_client¶

Python >= 3.6

Linux/MacOS user: python3 -m pip install codelab_adapter_client --upgrade --user

windows user: python -m pip install codelab_adapter_client --upgrade --user

Install the SDK on your system¶

Follow Vector official tutorial: Initial Setup

提醒

如果 Vector 的 IP发生了变化（诸如将Vector 带入新的 wifi 环境），不需要重新认证(python3 -m anki_vector.configure), 只需要修本地改配置文件即可（第一次认证留下的）, 配置文件为: ~/.anki_vector/sdk_config.ini

If the following code (hello_world.py) runs smoothly, go to the next step.

'''
MacOS:
    /usr/local/bin/python3 hello_world.py
linux:
    /usr/bin/python3 hello_world.py
Windows:
    python hello_world.py
'''
import anki_vector
from codelab_adapter_client import AdapterNode

def main():
    args = anki_vector.util.parse_command_args()
    with anki_vector.Robot(args.serial) as robot:
        print("Say 'Hello World'...")
        robot.behavior.say_text("Hello World")


if __name__ == "__main__":
    main()
