 ==== Logging the data ====
 Start the turtlesim and log all the topics using the following sets of commands
-  rosrun turtlesim turtlesim
+  rosrun turtlesim turtlesim_node
-  rosrun turtlesim turtle_tel # for keyboard teleop to get changing data
+  rosrun turtlesim turtle_teleop_key # for keyboard teleop to get changing data
-  rosrun mongodb mongodb_log -a # for all topics. check help for more options

 === Via a python API ===
 The full documentation of the python API is available online at [[http://api.mongodb.org/python/current/|http://api.mongodb.org/python/current/]]. Below is a simple example usage:
+  import pymongo
+  mclient = pymongo.Connection()
+  db = mclient['roslog']
+  # get the collections
+  db.collection_names()
+  [u'turtle1_color_sensor', u'system.indexes', u'turtle1_pose', u'turtle1_
+  command_velocity']
+  # show all the data in the database
+  docs = db['turtle1_pose'].find()
+  for d in docs:
+    print d
+  # this displays a long list with elements like these
+  {u'__topic': u'/turtle1/pose', u'linear_velocity': 0.0, u'theta': 1.9824
+  440479278564, u'y': 8.26992130279541, u'x': 4.029432773590088, u'_id': O
+  bjectId('51c98fcca6c646570b000901'), u'angular_velocity': 0.0, u'__recor
+  ded': 1372164044.44448}
+  {u'__topic': u'/turtle1/pose', u'linear_velocity': 0.0, u'theta': 1.9824
+  440479278564, u'y': 8.26992130279541, u'x': 4.029432773590088, u'_id': O

+  ded': 1372164044.460494}
+  # querying can be done directly on these. e.g.
+  q = db['turtle1_pose'].find({'__recorded':{'$gt' : 1372164044.44448}})
+  q.count()
+# which is exactly the last recording as shown in the data snippet above
