  1. Usage

Code to control an Animatics Smart Servo. We use the Animatics servos to control Festo linear actuators.

Usage

Prior to using this package to control a Festo linear actuator, a set of parameters calibration parameters associated with your individual actuator must be present in zenither_config.py. These calibration parameters are stored using Python dictionaries and will be referred to in code using that set of parameter's key.

After calibration (in Python):

import zenither.zenither as zen
z = zen.Zenither('CALIBRATION_KEY')
z.move_position(.3) # move to a pose 30cm from the ground
