# Set the trim offset for each motor (left and right).  This is a value that
# will offset the speed of movement of each motor in order to make them both
# move at the same desired speed.  Because there's no feedback the robot doesn't
# know how fast each motor is spinning and the robot can pull to a side if one
# motor spins faster than the other motor.  To determine the trim values move the
# robot forward slowly (around 100 speed) and watch if it veers to the left or
# right.  If it veers left then the _right_ motor is spinning faster so try
# setting RIGHT_TRIM to a small negative value, like -5, to slow down the right
# motor.  Likewise if it veers right then adjust the _left_ motor trim to a small
# negative value.  Increase or decrease the trim value until the bot moves
# straight forward/backward.
LEFT_TRIM   = 0
RIGHT_TRIM  = 0


# Create an instance of the robot with the specified trim values.
# Not shown are other optional parameters:
#  - addr: The I2C address of the motor HAT, default is 0x60.
#  - left_id: The ID of the left motor, default is 1.
#  - right_id: The ID of the right motor, default is 2.
robot = Robot.Robot(left_trim=LEFT_TRIM, right_trim=RIGHT_TRIM)

# Now move the robot around!
# Each call below takes two parameters:
#  - speed: The speed of the movement, a value from 0-255.  The higher the value
#           the faster the movement.  You need to start with a value around 100
#           to get enough torque to move the robot.
#  - time (seconds):  Amount of time to perform the movement.  After moving for
#                     this amount of seconds the robot will stop.  This parameter
#                     is optional and if not specified the robot will start moving
#                     forever.
# robot.forward(150, 1.0)   # Move forward at speed 150 for 1 second.
# robot.left(200, 0.5)      # Spin left at speed 200 for 0.5 seconds.
# robot.forward(150, 1.0)   # Repeat the same movement 3 times below...
# robot.left(200, 0.5)
# robot.forward(150, 1.0)
# robot.left(200, 0.5)
# robot.forward(150, 1.0)
# robot.right(200, 0.5)

# Spin in place slowly for a few seconds.
# robot.right(100)  # No time is specified so the robot will start spinning forever.
# time.sleep(2.0)   # Pause for a few seconds while the robot spins (you could do
#                   # other processing here though!).
# robot.stop()      # Stop the robot from moving.

# Now move backwards and spin right a few times.
# robot.backward(150, 1.0)
# robot.right(200, 0.5)
# robot.backward(150, 1.0)
# robot.right(200, 0.5)
# robot.backward(150, 1.0)
# robot.right(200, 0.5)
# robot.backward(150, 1.0)

robot.turnleft(250,1)
robot.forward(250, 3.0)
robot.turnright(250,1)
robot.forward(250, 2.0)



# That's it!  Note that on exit the robot will automatically stop moving.
