| − | '''Robobot'''
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Robobot is a base robot for "Building dependable robot systems". See details here ([[Robobot]]), it is basically a Regbot robot extended with a raspberry pi.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | ==Use software as is==
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | To use REGBOT two software parts are needed - one for the robot (regbot.hex) and the client (regbot.exe (for windows)).
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | ====Client software====
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Get the client software (regbot.exe) from file sharing on campusnet, place it in a directory, this directory will be default for configuration file and result files from the robot.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | * get software from SVN, or from the link below.
| + | |
| − | * http://aut.elektro.dtu.dk/regbot/regbot-gui/regbot.exe (probably an old version)
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | For windows a complete executable file (''regbot.exe'') is in the ''dist'' subdirectory of QTGUI, or can be downloaded as an exe-file from the link above.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | ==Software download==
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | The source code for the robot and the client is available here.
| + | |
| − | NB! the software source can not be compiled without the proper tool-chain (compiler and library for the robot and python and libraries for the client)
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | repository for software - client and robot (version 3)
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | * client: svn://repos.gbar.dtu.dk/jcan/regbot/qtgui
| + | |
| − | * robot: svn://repos.gbar.dtu.dk/jcan/regbot/regbot
| + | |
| − | * robobot (c++): svn://repos.gbar.dtu.dk/jcan/regbot/robobot
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | On windows something like ''TortoiseSVN'' needs to be installed, see e.g.: http://www.gbar.dtu.dk/faq/39-svn
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | On a Linux computer install the ''subversion'' package, and do something like this:
| + | |
| − | svn co svn://repos.gbar.dtu.dk/jcan/regbot/regbot regbot
| + | |
| − | svn co svn://repos.gbar.dtu.dk/jcan/regbot/qtgui qtgui
| + | |
| − | svn co svn://repos.gbar.dtu.dk/jcan/regbot/robobot robobot
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | *Robot software version 3.943 (as of 9 Oct 2018) added overload protection (full motor voltage for 0.5sec gives overload).
| + | |
| − | *Robot software (including regbot.hex): version 2.285 (as of 31 January 2016) - ready for F16 course
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | *Client software : 3.923 (23 Mar 2018) added new chirp command for identification - require big log (teensy 3.5)
| + | |
| − | *Client software : 3.484 (as of 15 November 2016) - adapted to hardware 3, modular control settings and wifi access
| + | |
| − | *Client software (including regbot.exe for windows): 2.285 (as of 31 January 2016) - ready for F16 course

| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | This extension adds a Raspbery Pi with a Raspberry Pi camera on top of the robot.
| + | |
| − | The Raspberry Pi is connected to the robot base through the UART serial connection.
