Vector Control
Control a Vector robot via Wirepod’s local HTTP API on the same network. Use when you need to move Vector, tilt head/lift, speak text, capture camera frames, or run patrol/explore routines from the Pi/Wirepod host. Includes a CLI helper script and endpoint reference.

Install with your agent
Agent handoff
Hand the extracted package to your coding agent with a concrete install brief instead of figuring it out manually.
- Download the package from Yavira.
- Extract it into a folder your agent can access.
- Paste one of the prompts below and point your agent at the extracted folder.
New install
I downloaded a skill package from Yavira. Read SKILL.md from the extracted folder and install it by following the included instructions. Tell me what you changed and call out any manual steps you could not complete.
Upgrade existing
I downloaded an updated skill package from Yavira. Read SKILL.md from the extracted folder, compare it with my current installation, and upgrade it while preserving any custom configuration unless the package docs explicitly say otherwise. Summarize what changed and any follow-up checks I should run.

Overview
Control Vector through Wirepod’s /api-sdk/* endpoints and the camera stream at /cam-stream. Use this skill for movement, speech, camera snapshots, patrols, and exploration from the Pi.
Quick start (CLI)
Use the bundled script: python3 skills/vector-control/scripts/vector_control.py --serial <ESN> assume python3 skills/vector-control/scripts/vector_control.py --serial <ESN> say --text "Hello Dom" python3 skills/vector-control/scripts/vector_control.py --serial <ESN> move --lw 160 --rw 160 --time 1.5 python3 skills/vector-control/scripts/vector_control.py --serial <ESN> snapshot --out /tmp/vector.mjpg
Find ESN/serial
If you don’t have it, read: /etc/wire-pod/wire-pod/jdocs/botSdkInfo.json
1) Assume / Release control
Always assume before movement, and release if the bot tips or a human needs manual control. python3 .../vector_control.py --serial <ESN> assume python3 .../vector_control.py --serial <ESN> release
2) Movement
move sends wheel speeds (0–200 typical). Use short timed moves. python3 .../vector_control.py --serial <ESN> move --lw 120 --rw 120 --time 1.0
3) Head / Lift
python3 .../vector_control.py --serial <ESN> head --speed -2 --time 1.0 python3 .../vector_control.py --serial <ESN> lift --speed 2 --time 1.0
4) Speech
Speech can be interrupted by motion/camera. If it fails, pause after speaking before moving. python3 .../vector_control.py --serial <ESN> say --text "Sneaking forward" # wait 1–2s, then move
5) Camera snapshot
/cam-stream returns MJPG. Save it and convert to JPEG if needed (ffmpeg). python3 .../vector_control.py --serial <ESN> snapshot --out /tmp/vector.mjpg ffmpeg -y -loglevel error -i /tmp/vector.mjpg -frames:v 1 /tmp/vector.jpg
6) Play Audio (MP3/WAV)
Streams an audio file through Vector's speaker. Automatically converts to the required format (8kHz mono WAV). python3 .../vector_control.py --serial <ESN> play --file /path/to/music.mp3
7) Patrol (deterministic sweep)
python3 .../vector_control.py --serial <ESN> patrol --steps 6 --speed 140 --step-time 1.2 --turn-time 0.8 --speak --phrase "Patrolling"
8) Explore (randomized wander)
python3 .../vector_control.py --serial <ESN> explore --steps 8 --speak --phrase "Exploring"
