Robot Raconteur® is a powerful communication library that has numerous features. This page is intended to provide a very fast start to using the library in Python that ignores most of the features and implements a simple function that can be called on a service by a client. The object also is capable of member types property, event, objref, pipe, callback, wire, and memory. See the Documentation page for full details. These examples require the Python Robot Raconteur® library to be installed. It can be downloaded from the Download page. A simple service will initialize Robot Raconteur and register an object as a service. This example service creates a simple service that contains a single function to drive an iRobot Create through a serial port. This is a minimal subset of the full example in the documentation.
