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:
$ cd ~/regbot 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 ..
REGBOT software
The REGBOT software is in the ~/regbot/regbot directory
To compile it for the REGBOT version 4 hardware with a Teensy 3.5 processor board, go to the '3.5' subdirectory
cd ~/regbot/regbot/3.5 make -j4
If successful a regbot.hex file is generated and should be uploaded to the REGBOT Teensy 3.5 processor.
This can be done from a console with X-messages enabled.
ssh -X local@solvej.local
if the robot is 'solvej'.
NB! While programming all the pins on the processor are released, including the one maintaining power to the robot. This means that the red button on the board MUST be pressed during the MAKE UPLOAD command
cd ~/regbot/regbot/3.5 make upload
See the regbot directory for more details.
