mbot-python - A MicroPython Module for the MBot Control Board

Overview

The mbot module provides a set of classes to control and monitor various functions on your MBot control board.

Features

• IMU support: Buffered access to orientation, quaternion, accelerometer, gyroscope, and magnetometer data from the BHY160B sensor.
• Barometer: Accurate temperature, pressure, and altitude readings from the BMP280 sensor with full compensation.
• Battery monitoring: Reads battery voltage using a configurable voltage divider and reference.
• Filtering: SISO Butterworth lowpass/highpass filters (orders 1, 2, 4) and PID controller with D-term rolloff.
• Test scripts: Example scripts for each module to verify hardware and demonstrate usage.
• Extensible: Modular design for easy addition of new sensors and features.

Getting Started

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/mbot-project/mbot-python.git
   

2. Copy the mbot folder to your MicroPython device.
3. Run the test scripts in the tests directory to verify hardware and functionality.
