HEBI Python API Examples

This repository contains examples to go with the online documentation that help to get started with the HEBI Robotics APIs for Python.

Setup

All examples require the hebi-py pip package in order to run. You can install it through pip (i.e., pip install hebi-py).

It is expected that you have a hebi-py version of at least 2.2.0 for this repo.

Note that this revision does not support Python 2!

Additionally, some of the kits examples require the PySDL2 Package. You will need the SDL2 shared library for this to work. For Windows, this library is included for you in this repository.

Nightly API

If you want access to the newest API, you can download one of our nightly builds by doing:

pip install http://docs.hebi.us/download/python/hebi-py-{version}.tar.gz

Visit http://docs.hebi.us/download/python to see which specific versions are available for download, as they may change.
