## What is `techmanpy`?

`techmanpy` is an easy-to-use communication driver for Techman robots written in Python.

With it, motion commands can be executed, internal parameters can be changed and the state of the robot can be monitored: providing a solid foundation for any custom control software.

By using `asyncio` for all socket communications, it provides an elegant coroutine-based API.

[Read the full documentation](https://github.com/jvdtoorn/techmanpy/wiki)

Here's how to command your robot to move:
```Python
#!/usr/bin/env python

import asyncio
import techmanpy

async def move():
   async with techmanpy.connect_sct(robot_ip='<robot IP address>') as conn:
      await conn.move_to_joint_angles_ptp([10, -10, 10, -10, 10, -10], 0.10, 200)

asyncio.run(move())
```

And here's how to listen to the TMFlow server:
```Python
#!/usr/bin/env python

import asyncio
import techmanpy

async def listen():
   async with techmanpy.connect_svr(robot_ip='<robot IP address>') as conn:
      conn.add_broadcast_callback(print)
      await conn.keep_alive()

asyncio.run(listen())
```

## Requirements
**TMFlow:** `1.80+`  
**Python:** &nbsp;`3.8+`

## Installation
```
$ python3 -m pip install techmanpy
```

## Test connection with TMFlow
To verify that your connection with the robot is all set-up:
```
$ python3 test_connection.py <robot IP address>
```
