Gobots - Connected edge devices

gobots is a software package that introduces the concept of botfiles which describe commands, tasks and workflows executed by robots, or any type of edge devices.

In short: Sick of reverse-engineering communication protocols for your devices? Now is the time to switch to gobots, probability has it that at least someone on the Internet has already described/mapped your edge device into a botfile.

What Is Gobots?

Package gobots defines structures and interfaces to connect and communicate with robot devices and/or any connected edge devices.

The gobots software introduces botfiles and the Wire protocol to facilitate inter-devices communication over network or serial connections.

• The robot.Robot structure provides a connection wrapper and communication channel for connected edge devices. This implementation is agnostic to the actual edge devices’ hardware and installed firmware.
• A cmd package is provided which serves as a first draft interface for connection and communication with supported edge devices through YAML driver files and the Wire messaging format.

## Usage

A terminal user interface is provided with an interactive console to connect directly with edge devices and execute commands:

# Open an interactive console to a device using a driver file
$ gobots console drivers/ELEGOO/smartcar-v4.yaml

# Open an interactive console to a device using a custom host and port
$ gobots console 192.168.4.1:100 -d drivers/ELEGOO/smartcar-v4.yaml

# Execute commands with parameters from the console directly
bot> exec move --speed 10 --direction forward
bot> exec stop

Connect and execute commands directly with gobots exec:

$ gobots exec move --speed 10 --direction forward -d drivers/ELEGOO/smartcar-v4.yaml
