Advanced Functions

To enable advanced functionality in the initialisation of the robot, we provide an override.env file that you put alongside your robot.py. Parameters are added to the file with the overridden value, one per line.

Debug Logging

ENABLE_DEBUG_LOGGING will run your robot in debug mode, printing more information about what it is doing.

info

Debug mode is very verbose. It will print a lot of information that you may not need.

An example file is provided below:

ENABLE_DEBUG_LOGGING=1

Custom Initialisation

SKIP_WAIT_START will cause the robot to not wait for the start button when importing sbot, and the function wait_start() (from the utils module) must be called for the robot to wait for the start button.

Since no initialisation has been performed, no boards can be accessed at this point. To access the boards call utils.load_boards().

An example of this is provided below:

SKIP_WAIT_START=1

from sbot import *

# Initialisation and other code to be run immediately goes here

utils.load_boards()

# Access to boards is now possible

# Code waits for start button here
utils.wait_start()
