Kai Python Package

Setup

Run the following commands to initialise the project directory

python3 setup.py build
python3 setup.py install

Module Initialisation

a. Make sure the moduleId and moduleSecret are defined correcty in your program.

moduleID = "moduleName"     # Name can be anything
moduleSecret = "qwerty"     # Leave as is

You can also create a config.ini file along with the information required in the following format:

[MODULE]
ID = "moduleName"
SECRET = "qwerty"

You can find an example for this in the examples folder.

b. Make sure the KaiSDK service is running.

c. Connect to the KaiSDK Websocket.

module = WebSocketModule()
success = module.connect(moduleID, moduleSecret)

if not success:
    print("Unable to authenticate with Kai SDK")
    exit(1)

Getting Data

Set Capabilities

# Setting single capability
module.setCapabilities(module.DefaultKai, KaiCapabilities.AccelerometerData) 

# Setting multiple capabilities
module.setCapabilities(module.DefaultKai, KaiCapabilities.AccelerometerData | KaiCapabilities.GyroscopeData | KaiCapabilities.PYRData)

Set Listeners

def accelerometerEv(ev):
    print(ev.accelerometer.x)
    print(ev.accelerometer.y)
    print(ev.accelerometer.z)

module.DefaultKai.register_event_listener(Events.AccelerometerEvent, accelerometerEv)

Unset Capabilities

# Unsetting single capability 
module.unsetCapabilities(module.DefaultKai, KaiCapabilities.AccelerometerData)

# Unsetting multiple capabilities
module.unsetCapabilities(module.DefaultKai, KaiCapabilities.AccelerometerData | KaiCapabilities.GyroscopeData | KaiCapabilities.PYRData)

Closing the Module

module.close()

Run the example file using the following command

python3 Gesture.py
