class viam.components.movement_sensor.MovementSensor(name: str)[source]

Bases: viam.components.component_base.ComponentBase

MovementSensor reports information about the robot’s direction, position and speed.

This acts as an abstract base class for any sensors that can provide data regarding the robot’s direction, position, and speed. This cannot be used on its own. If the __init__() function is overridden, it must call the super().__init__() function.

Return type:: ResourceName

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

async close()

Safely shut down the resource and prevent further use.

Close must be idempotent. Later configuration may allow a resource to be “open” again. If a resource does not want or need a close function, it is assumed that the resource does not need to return errors when future non-Close methods are called.
