+ | - Start python and run the following setup commands: | ||

+ | sock = BlueSock(ID) | ||
+ | brick = sock.connect() | ||
+ | motor_a = Motor(brick, | ||
+ | motor_b = Motor(brick, | ||
+ | motor_c = Motor(brick, | ||
+ | </ | ||
+ | |||
+ | You can then control the motors by calling motor.turn(power, | ||
+ | e.g. motor_a.turn(127, | ||
