How to Control a Raspberry Pi Robot by Adeept APP

Method of controlling raspberry pi robot by Adeept mobile app:

For the robot we have updated the app control mode.

There is an appserver.py file in the server folder. After running it, you can open a server to monitor the connection of the mobile app.

If you have already installed a program for a robot product, just update its code:

Browse the root directory of the robot product in the Raspberry Pi terminal with the command cd [robot_name].

Update the project with sudo git pull.

If you want to set the appserver.py to run automatically, you can refer to the following methods:

With the command sudo nano startup.sh

Edit the startup.sh file and change the //PATH/server.py to //PATH/appserver.py

Press ctrl + x to exit, press y to save the changes, press enter to confirm.

Then it will automatically run the mobile terminal program the next time you turn it on.

  1. The appserver.py has bugs in it. Not sure how this passed debugging, but I fixed it by adding the turn_command in the move function in appCommand (starts at line 87). For forwardStart and backwardStart in appCommand, you have to add assigning a value for turn_command.

    def appCommand(data_input):
    global direction_command, turn_command, servo_command
    if data_input == ‘forwardStart\n’:
    direction_command = ‘forward’
    turn_command = ”
    move.move(speed_set, direction_command,turn_command)

    elif data_input == ‘backwardStart\n’:
    direction_command = ‘backward’
    turn_command = ”
    move.move(speed_set, direction_command,turn_command)

    elif data_input == ‘leftStart\n’:
    turn_command = ‘left’
    servo.turnLeft()
    move.move(speed_set, direction_command,turn_command)

    elif data_input == ‘rightStart\n’:
    turn_command = ‘right’
    servo.turnRight()
    move.move(speed_set, direction_command,turn_command)

  2. I got this to work right away BUT when I try to turn, I get an error.
    Traceback (most recent call last):
    File “appserver.py”, line 248, in
    app_ctrl()
    File “appserver.py”, line 244, in app_ctrl
    appCommand(data)
    File “appserver.py”, line 95, in appCommand
    move.move(speed_set, direction_command)
    TypeError: move() missing 1 required positional argument: ‘turn’

  3. I have built the RaspClaws robot and setup the software on a Raspberry Pi 4B. I have installed the Adeept Remote Control Android app, stopped server.py on my Raspberry Pi 4B, started appserver.py (says waiting for connection). Then when I enter the correct IP address and Port number (10123) – the mobile app crashes (no error messages shown). I have tried this numerous times, restarted the Raspberry Pi and even tried running appserver.py while server.py is running

    Can you help?
