API Description

API (Application Programming Interface), that is, application program interface functions, are some predefined functions. When using the following function interfaces, please import our API library at the beginning, that is, enter the code below, otherwise it will not run successfully:

#Applicable to myCobot, mechArm series
from pymycobot.mycobot import MyCobot

Note: Some function interfaces have return values, but if you enter the code directly, the result returned is no return value. You need to use the print function to print out the result. For example, if you want to get the current speed value of the robot arm, you can use get_speed(), but directly entering the function will not result in any result. The correct way to write it is: print(get_speed()) to print out the speed value. If the API description below states no return value, you do not need to use the print function. Otherwise, you need to use the print function to print the result.
