Driver | Uda V5

Here is how to implement the driver in a main control loop.

import time
from uda_v5_driver import UdaV5Driver
def main():
    # Initialize driver
    driver = UdaV5Driver(port='/dev/ttyS0') # Use '/dev/ttyUSB0' if using a USB-UART adapter
try:
        # Example: Move robot forward at 50% speed
        print("Moving forward...")
        driver.send_velocity(50, 50)
        time.sleep(2)
# Example: Read encoders
        ticks = driver.read_encoders()
        if ticks:
            print(f"Encoder Ticks -> Left: ticks[0], Right: ticks[1]")
# Stop robot
        print("Stopping...")
        driver.send_velocity(0, 0)
except KeyboardInterrupt:
        print("Program interrupted.")
finally:
        driver.close()
if __name__ == "__main__":
    main()
