### Python SDK API Example

Source: https://motorbridge.seeedstudio.com/source/rust-cli/damiao-api

Example of using the Python SDK to read, write, and store 32-bit float registers for a Damiao motor.

```APIDOC
## Python SDK API Example

This example demonstrates how to use the `motorbridge` Python SDK to interact with a Damiao motor.

### Usage

1. Initialize a `Controller` with the appropriate CAN interface.
2. Add a Damiao motor using `add_damiao_motor`.
3. Read an existing 32-bit float register value using `get_register_f32`.
4. Write a new 32-bit float value to a register using `write_register_f32`.
5. Read back the register value to verify the write operation.
6. Persist the parameters using `store_parameters`.
7. Close the motor controller connection.

```python
from motorbridge import Controller

with Controller("can0") as ctrl:
    m = ctrl.add_damiao_motor(0x01, 0x11, "4340P")
    old = m.get_register_f32(22, 1000)
    print("old VMAX", old)
    m.write_register_f32(22, old * 0.9)
    new = m.get_register_f32(22, 1000)
    print("new VMAX", new)
    m.store_parameters()
    m.close()
```
