### Run a Single Large Motor

Source: https://python-ev3dev.readthedocs.io/en/ev3dev-stretch

This example demonstrates running a LEGO Large Motor at 75% speed for 5 rotations. Motors can also be controlled by degrees, time, or continuous operation.

```python
m = LargeMotor(OUTPUT_A)
m.on_for_rotations(SpeedPercent(75), 5)

```

### Control LEDs with Touch Sensor

Source: https://python-ev3dev.readthedocs.io/en/ev3dev-stretch

This code snippet changes LED colors based on touch sensor input. Plug a touch sensor into any port. For specific ports, initialize with the port number.

```python
ts = TouchSensor()
leds = Leds()

print("Press the touch sensor to change the LED color!")

while True:
    if ts.is_pressed:
        leds.set_color("LEFT", "GREEN")
        leds.set_color("RIGHT", "GREEN")
    else:
        leds.set_color("LEFT", "RED")
        leds.set_color("RIGHT", "RED")
    # don't let this loop use 100% CPU
    sleep(0.01)

```

```python
ts = TouchSensor(INPUT_1)

```

### Make EV3 Speak Text

Source: https://python-ev3dev.readthedocs.io/en/ev3dev-stretch

Uses the Sound class to make the EV3 robot speak a given phrase. Ensure the Sound class is imported.

```python
from ev3dev2.sound import Sound

sound = Sound()
sound.speak('Welcome to the E V 3 dev project!')
```

### Python Script Template for ev3dev

Source: https://python-ev3dev.readthedocs.io/en/ev3dev-stretch

This template includes the necessary shebang line and import statements for a basic ev3dev Python script. Ensure your editor uses LF line endings.

```python
#!/usr/bin/env python3

from time import sleep

from ev3dev2.motor import LargeMotor, OUTPUT_A, OUTPUT_B, SpeedPercent, MoveTank
from ev3dev2.sensor import INPUT_1
from ev3dev2.sensor.lego import TouchSensor
from ev3dev2.led import Leds

# TODO: Add code here

```

--------------------------------

### Drive with Two Motors using MoveTank

Source: https://python-ev3dev.readthedocs.io/en/ev3dev-stretch

This snippet shows how to control two motors simultaneously using the MoveTank class for driving. It drives in a turn for 5 rotations of the outer motor.

```python
tank_drive = MoveTank(OUTPUT_A, OUTPUT_B)

# drive in a turn for 5 rotations of the outer motor
# the first two parameters can be unit classes or percentages.
tank_drive.on_for_rotations(SpeedPercent(50), SpeedPercent(75), 10)

```

--------------------------------

### Drive Tank with Different Turn Speeds

Source: https://python-ev3dev.readthedocs.io/en/ev3dev-stretch

Controls the tank drive motors with specified speeds for a set duration. Use this for precise directional movements.

```python
from ev3dev2.motor import SpeedPercent, MoveTank

tank_drive = MoveTank()
tank_drive.on_for_seconds(SpeedPercent(60), SpeedPercent(30), 3)
```
