This interface package defines high level abstractions for low level request and generalizes these abilities to multiple systems. For example, reading an image is abstracted into a simple call and has been generalized to Raspberry Pi, Jetson Nano, and a simulated camera. For ease of development, the simulated interface allows us to interact with the simulated robot without actual hardware. See the Simulator2020 repo for info on the sim.
If you don't have a conda environment, first install miniconda, then:
$ conda create --name southeastcon2020 PYTHON=3.7.1
$ conda activate southeastcon2020
Now clone and visit the Simulator2020 repo, and run the following.
$ pip install -e .
Then come back here and run it in this repo.
import interface
interface.set_system("sim")
print(interface.read_image().shape)
print(interface.time())
