Serial driver
To be able to run anything with the robot, a driver needs to be installed:
- Installation af driver https://www.pjrc.com/teensy/td_download.html - seriel driver installation med https://www.pjrc.com/teensy/serial_install.exe
Python and QT
To be able to change the user interface (regbot.py) python (version 2.7), PyQt4 and pyserial needs to be installed:
- Installation of python - version 2.7 from https://www.python.org/downloads/windows/
- installation of QT4 GUI library - fra http://www.riverbankcomputing.co.uk/software/pyqt/download.
Installation of http://sourceforge.net/projects/pyqt/files/PyQt4/PyQt-4.11.3/PyQt4-4.11.3-gpl-Py2.7-Qt4.8.6-x32.exe NB! it must be QT4 and x32 (not x64) and filename must include 'Py2.7'
- installation of python serial kommunikation from https://pypi.python.org/pypi/pyserial - again version must fit with Python, i.e. 2.7.
Simple way is from command line
pip install pyserial
Tools to make exe file
To pack an application as an exe-file for windows a pyinstaller is needed.
Install from cmd line
pip install pyinstaller
If you then try
pyinstaller Error: Pyinstaller for Python 2.6+ needs pywin32 ...
Then go to http://sourceforge.net/projects/pywin32/?source=typ_redirect then the link "browse all files"-> "pywin32" -> "build..." and find pywin32-XXX-win32-py2.7.exe
Run this installation
make EXE file
Make the python script to a single exe-file
in a windows cmd prompt, go to the directory with the main python script
pyinstaller --onefile regbot.py
This will make a subdirectoty called dist. This holds the new application exe-file that can be copied to another windows (without administrator prviledes) and run!
Linux (debian based)
- install python
sudo apt-get install python-dev sudo apt-get install pyqt5-dev
If python version 3 is used, then further packages are needed, and some code may have to change.
Teensy 3.1 code
To compile code to Teensy 3.1, and download to the robot requires a bit more
- Code loader - see https://www.pjrc.com/teensy/loader.html - Code uses an arduino library, but is written in C (compiled with a C++ compiler), this requires further installation: @todo - see Nilas' report.
