# PepperPlus-RI
The robot interface is a high-level API for controlling the robot. It implements the API as designed: https://utrechtuniversity.youtrack.cloud/articles/N25B-A-14/RI-CB-Communication.
This is an implementation for the Pepper robot, using the Pepper SDK and Python 2.7 as required by the SDK.
## Installation
- [Linux](./docs/installation/linux.md)
- [macOS](./docs/installation/macos.md)
- [Windows](./docs/installation/windows.md)
### Git Hooks
To activate automatic linting, formatting, branch name checks and commit message checks, run (after installing requirements):
```bash
pre-commit install
pre-commit install --hook-type commit-msg
```
## Usage
On Linux and macOS:
```shell
PYTHONPATH=src python -m robot_interface.main
```
On Windows:
```shell
$env:PYTHONPATH="src"; python -m robot_interface.main
```
### Program Arguments
If you want to connect to the actual robot (or simulator), pass the `--qi-url` argument.
There's also a `--microphone` argument that can be used to choose a microphone to use. If not given, the program will try the default microphone. If you don't know the name of the microphone, pass the argument with any value, and it will list the names of available microphones.
### Environment Variables
You may use environment variables to change settings. Make a copy of the [`.env.example`](.env.example) file, name it `.env` and put it in the root directory. The file itself describes how to do the configuration.
## Testing
To run the unit tests, on Linux and macOS:
```shell
PYTHONPATH=src pytest test/
```
On Windows:
```shell
$env:PYTHONPATH="src"; pytest test/
```
### Coverage
For coverage, add `--cov=robot_interface` as an argument to `pytest`.
## Documentation
Generate documentation web pages using:
### Linux & macOS
```bash
PYTHONPATH=src sphinx-apidoc -F -o docs src/robot_interface
```
### Windows
```bash
$env:PYTHONPATH="src"; sphinx-apidoc -F -o docs src/control_backend
```
Optionally, in the `conf.py` file in the new `docs` folder, change preferences.
In the `docs` folder:
### Linux & macOS
```bash
make html
```
### Windows
```bash
.\make.bat html
```
