Clean Raspberry Pi

This section contains the complete instructions for setting up a clean Raspberry Pi.

Click on the link below to go the instructions.

Raspberry Full installation instructions including opencv-3, but stop before "Mobotware".

Windows tools

Use winscp (from https://winscp.net/eng/download.php?TB_iframe) to move files to and from the raspberry pi.

Use putty (from https://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/latest.html) to get terminal access to the raspberry.

To connect to raspberry using a cable (from raspberry direct to a PC) requires that both has a manually set IP adress. The Raspberry side is 192.168.0.2, and you should probably manually set the IP of your PC to the same local net, e.g. 192.168.0.100.

There is a windows executable client for configuration and setting up the REGBOT part of the ROBOBOT. This is found in 'regbot/qtgui/dist/regbot.exe' in the raspberry, and can be fetched using winscp.

Update ROBOBOT source

On the raspberry there is the following directories:

$ ls
  mission          Mission software skeleton that can also access the raspberry camera
  qtgui            Copy of the configuration gui (python files), and a windows executable in the 'dist' subdirectory
  regbot           Firmware for the REGBOT part
  robobot_bridge   The connection software between the REGBOT, the small display, the remote control and the mission software

Update

All these source directories are already connected to a SVN repository, but probably need update, by

cd 
cd mission
svn up
cd ../qtgui
svn up
cd ../regbot
svn up
cd ../robobot_bridge
svn up

Compile

If there are updates, then they need a recompile (except qtgui).

Mission and Robobot_bridge has a 'build' subdirectory with a Makefile, REGBOT has the Makefile in the base directort.

Type

cd ~/robobot_bridge/build
make -j4
cd ~/mission/build
make -j4

to compile

If there is no makefile in the build directory, then make one first by

cd build
cmake ..
