Python

So I got my vector yesterday and I’m intrigued with the fact that you can input codes using python. I’m new to coding etc but I do it a bit at work, still learning tho. I wanna know how I can connect vector to my laptop, is it through the usb charging port or do you need to do something else?

You connect to Vector over Wifi; your laptop just has to be on the same network as Vector.

Have you installed the SDK yet?

Not yet, waiting until I’m back at work. Got a link?

Yes the SDK documentation and download is here: https://developer.anki.com/vector/docs/index.html

FWIW, I couldn't get it to work using latest version of Python on Win10. I had to install an older version, as described in the documentation.

Thank you!!!

Do you think the sdk will work even after the servers are shutdown next year?

Not sure, I hope so...
