Brain

Initializing the Brain Class

To use the V5 Brain in your project, start by initializing it as follows:

# Create a new object "brain" with the Brain class.
brain = Brain()

This brain object will be used in all subsequent examples throughout this API documentation when referring to Brain class methods and attributes.

The Brain class comes with five pre-defined attributes:

• battery - Provides information about the V5 Brain’s battery, including capacity, temperature, voltage, and current.

• timer - Provides functionality to measure elapsed time and assign functions to time-based events on the V5 Brain.

• screen - Enables you to display text, draw shapes, and assign touch-responsive functions on the V5 Brain’s Screen.

• sdcard - Provides access to files stored on the V5 Brain’s SD card.

• three_wire_port - Provides access to 3-Wire Sensors connected to the V5 Brain’s 3-Wire Ports. Each port is identified by a letter (a through h) and can be accessed using the format brain.three_wire_port.x, where x is the port letter. For example, brain.three_wire_port.a refers to the Sensor connected to port A.
