# Overview

### ABOUT python-axibo

**python-axibo** is a library used to interface with AXIBO INC hardware.

The AXIBO ecosystem of hardware components can be easily controlled using this library. This library was created to allow users to extend the applications of Axibo hardware beyond what is available in the application.

This library can be used to connect AXIBO to virtual production tools as well as writing custom applications for AI, motion detect and tracking, stop motion animation and anything else a user may want to use AXIBO for. Features are exposed so that they can be used for out-of-the-box creative expression. A slider can be used to much more than a slider with this library.

### Installation

```
git clone https://github.com/axiboai/python-axibo.git
cd python-axibo
pip install . 
```

### Simple Usage

Make sure your AXIBO controller is connected to the network. Once connected you will be able to import and initialize the module.

```python
from axibo import Axibo

my_axibo = Axibo("192.168.1.2") #make sure to change this to your AXIBO!

my_axibo.camera.capture_image_to_file("test_image.jpg")

my_axibo.pan.move_absolute(angle=10.00, speed=5.00)
my_axibo.pan.move_absolute(angle=5.00, speed=2.50)
my_axibo.update()
```
