Support for Python:

[Anonymous]

Hello Konnichiwa,
I am trying to receive the distance data with URG-04LX_UG01 using Raspberry Pi ( Raspbian OS). Is there any support, Library or sample files for Python (2.7 or 3.0 any). If so please let me know.
Thank you.

Hi,
I'm sorry, but there are no libraries for Python which is being supported with us.
The following library exists, but it isn't ours, so it can't be secured.

https://github.com/nus/pyURG
https://github.com/SuderPawel/hokuyo-python-lib
https://github.com/HiroakiMatsuda/pyurg

Best Regards.

Hi,
Urg_library has several samples available.
I will show you how to execute the sample.
First,you can compile by executing the following command.

$ cd urg_library-*.*.* /
$ make

Then, the C language library is generated in the following file.
If compiled correctly, you can check the get_distance executable file by using ls command.

$ cd samples/c
$ ls

Then execute it with the following command.

$ ./get_distance

Please check yourself about how to compile using by geany.

Best Regards.
