First, import the
Sloth
class from the
pisloth
library you have installed, which contains all of PiSloth’s actions
and the functions that implement them.
from pisloth import Sloth
Then instantiate the Sloth class.
sloth = Sloth([ 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 ])
sloth . set_offset([ 0 , 0 , 0 , 0 ])
Finally use the
sloth.do_action()
function to make PiSloth move.
sloth . do_action( 'turn left' , 7 , 90 )
sloth . do_action( 'forward' , 5 , 90 )
sloth . do_action( 'turn right' , 7 , 90 )
sloth . do_action( 'forward' , 5 , 90 )
