In [1]: from xgolib import XGO
In [2]: dog = XGO("xgomini") # argument doesn't really matter
In [3]: dog.action(11) # I like this one:)
In [4]: dog.unload_allmotor() # doggy now uses less power
Or use gentle one-liner:
python -c "from time import sleep; from xgolib import XGO; dog = XGO('meow'); dog.action(1); sleep(1.5); dog.unload_allmotor()"
# works in opposite direction
python -c "from xgolib import XGO; dog = XGO('meow'); dog.load_allmotor()"
- If you wonder what is IP-address of the dog, use
arp-scan --localnetto discover it:
