Re: [pyusb-users] PyUSB for Lego Education Product Communication-WeDO

Hi Safoura,

Perhaps we should take this off list, but I have a few ideas.

First off, you shouldn't need to touch WeDo_plugin - WeDoMore is the
self-contained library.

As for the distance - the WeDo is a rather tremendously shoddy piece of
electronics. Distance might not work if you've recently used the motors, or
my might be calling it too fast. Try using time.sleep to add a delay of a
second or two before and after the call.

Let me know if that works.

Best,
