EncoderClient

gRPC client for the Encoder component.

class viam.components.encoder.client.EncoderClient(name: str, channel: grpclib.client.Channel)

Bases: viam.components.encoder.encoder.Encoder, viam.resource.rpc_client_base.ReconfigurableResourceRPCClientBase

gRPC client for the Encoder component.

async reset_position(*, extra: Optional[Dict[str, Any]] = None, timeout: Optional[float] = None)

Set the current position to be the new zero (home) position.

async get_position(position_type: Optional[viam.proto.component.encoder.PositionType.ValueType] = None, *, extra: Optional[Dict[str, Any]] = None, timeout: Optional[float] = None) → Tuple[float, viam.proto.component.encoder.PositionType.ValueType]

Report the position of the encoder. The value returned is the current position in terms of it’s position_type. The position will be either in relative units (ticks away from a zero position) for PositionType.TICKS or absolute units (degrees along a circle) for PositionType.DEGREES.

Parameters:

position_type (PositionType.ValueType) – The desired output type of the position

Returns:

Position of the encoder which can either be ticks since last zeroing

for a relative encoder or degrees for an absolute encoder.

PositionType: The type of position the encoder returns (ticks or degrees)

Return type:

float

async get_properties(*, extra: Optional[Dict[str, Any]] = None, timeout: Optional[float] = None) → viam.components.encoder.encoder.Encoder.Properties

Return a dictionary of the types of position reporting this encoder supports

Returns:

Map of position types to supported status.

Return type:

Encoder.Properties

async do_command(command: Mapping[str, viam.utils.ValueTypes], *, timeout: Optional[float] = None) → Mapping[str, viam.utils.ValueTypes]

Send/Receive arbitrary commands to the Resource

Parameters:

command (Mapping[str, ValueTypes]) – The command to execute

Raises:

NotImplementedError – Raised if the Resource does not support arbitrary commands

Returns:

Result of the executed command

Return type:

Mapping[str, ValueTypes]

async get_geometries(*, extra: Optional[Dict[str, Any]] = None, timeout: Optional[float] = None) → List[viam.proto.common.Geometry]

Get all geometries associated with the Component, in their current configuration, in the frame of the Component.

Returns:

The geometries associated with the Component.

Return type:

List[Geometry]

classmethod from_robot(robot: viam.robot.client.RobotClient, name: str) → typing_extensions.Self

Get the component named name from the provided robot.

Parameters:

• robot (RobotClient) – The robot

• name (str) – The name of the component

Returns:

The component, if it exists on the robot

Return type:

Self

classmethod get_resource_name(name: str) → viam.proto.common.ResourceName

Get the ResourceName for this Resource with the given name

Parameters:

name (str) – The name of the Resource

get_operation(kwargs: Mapping[str, Any]) → viam.operations.Operation

Get the Operation associated with the currently running function.

When writing custom resources, you should get the Operation by calling this function and check to see if it’s cancelled. If the Operation is cancelled, then you can perform any necessary (terminating long running tasks, cleaning up connections, etc. ).

Parameters:

kwargs (Mapping[str, Any]) – The kwargs object containing the operation

Returns:

The operation associated with this function

Return type:

viam.operations.Operation
