#---------------------------
# Maestro Servo Controller
#---------------------------
#
# Support for the Pololu Maestro line of servo controllers
#
# Steven Jacobs -- Aug 2013
# https://github.com/FRC4564/Maestro/
#
# These functions provide access to many of the Maestro's capabilities using the
# Pololu serial protocol
#
class Controller:
# When connected via USB, the Maestro creates two virtual serial ports
# /dev/ttyACM0 for commands and /dev/ttyACM1 for communications.
# Be sure the Maestro is configured for "USB Dual Port" serial mode.
# "USB Chained Mode" may work as well, but hasn't been tested.
#
# Pololu protocol allows for multiple Maestros to be connected to a single
# serial port. Each connected device is then indexed by number.
# This device number defaults to 0x0C (or 12 in decimal), which this module
# assumes. If two or more controllers are connected to different serial
# ports, or you are using a Windows OS, you can provide the tty port. For
# example, '/dev/ttyACM2' or for Windows, something like 'COM3'.
def __init__(self,ttyStr='/dev/ttyACM0',device=0x0c,baud=115200):
# Open the command port
self.usb = serial.Serial(ttyStr,baudrate=baud)
# Command lead-in and device number are sent for each Pololu serial command.
self.PololuCmd = chr(0xaa) + chr(device)

# use the Target vs Current servo position to determine if movement is
# occuring. Upto 24 servos on a Maestro, (0-23). Targets start at 0.
