Nabaztag - A module to interface your nabaztag!
Version 0.03
Nabaztag.pm complies with nabaztag API V1 from violet company.
old APIV01 :http://www.nabaztag.com/vl/FR/nabaztag_api_version01.pdf
API V1 WILL BE SOON PUBLISHED.
See api mailing list at http://fr.groups.yahoo.com/group/nabaztag_api/
See help at http://www.nabaztag.com/
This module is designed to allow you to control a nabaztag with perl programming language. See ABOUT section to know which api it fits.
It has been tested with my own nabaztag and seems to work perfectly.
It also provide a simple command line tool to try your nabaztag: nabaztry (see SYNOPSIS). This tool is install in /usr/bin/
It makes great use of LWP::Simple to interact with the rabbit.
PROXY issues:
If you're behind a proxy, see LWP::Simple proxy issues to know how to deal with that. Basically, set env variable HTTP_PROXY to your proxi url in order to make it work. For instance : export HTTP_PROXY=http://my.proxy.company:8080/
Commandline:
$ nabaztry.pl MAC TOKEN POSLEFT POSRIGHT
Perl code:
use Nabaztag ; # OR # use Nabaztag { 'debug' => 1 } ; my $nab = Nabaztag->new(); # MANDATORY $nab->mac($mac); $nab->token($tok); # See new function to have details about how to get these properties. $nab->leftEarPos($left); $nab->rightEarPos($right); $nab->syncState(); $nab->sayThis("Demain, il pleuvra des grillons jusqu'a extinction totale de la race humaine."); .....
See detailled methods for full possibilities.
Gory details :
You can access or modify BASE_URL by accessing: $Nabaztag::BASE_URL ;

It has following properties:
mac : MAC Adress of nabaztag - equivalent to Serial Number ( SN ). Written at the back of your nabaztag !! token : TOKEN Given by nabaztag.com to allow interaction with you nabaztag. See http://www.nabaztag.com/vl/FR/api_prefs.jsp to obtain yours !! leftEarPos : position of left ear. rightEarPos : position of right ear.
usage: my $nab = Nabaztag->new($mac , $token ); print $nab->leftEarPos(); print $nab->rightEarPos();
OR:
my $nab = Nabaztag->new(); $nab->mac($mac); $nab->token($token); $nab->fetchEars(); print $nab->leftEarPos(); print $nab->rightEarPos();
Get/Sets the left ear position of the nabaztag.
Usage: $nab->leftEarPos($newPos);
The new position has to be between 0 (vertical ear) and 16 included
