Installation for windows (7 or later?)

Contents

[edit] Client application

A REGBOT GUI for windows is packed into a single (big) exe-file. This is available on the course page or downloaded from the SVN in directory 

qtgui/dist/regbot.exe.

The application is also a python script that can run on windows

It is on a subversion (SVN) repository, first install subversion on the PC.

Using subversion (from a 'cmd' prompt). 

 svn co svn://repos.gbar.dtu.dk/jcan/regbot/qtgui

If using another svn client, then use only the repository name svn://repos.gbar.dtu.dk/jcan/regbot/qtgui .

[edit] Tool installation - client

This is not needed to run the client, but is needed to create new versions of the client (on Windows) or to run the python source directly.

[edit] 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 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'

Simple way is from command line 

pip install pyserial
  • Installation of PyQtGraph is needed for the plotting, this requires Numpy, and this in turn requires Microsoft Visual C++ 9.0 compiler for Python:
  • get the compiler: from http://aka.ms/vcpython27 download the installer "VCForPython27" and run it.
  • install numpy (from the command line) 
pip install numpy
  • install PyQtGraph-0.9.10.win32 
pip install pyqtgraph

[edit] Tools to make the 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 get this error, when you 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

[edit] 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!

[edit] Teensy 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

To make the Makefile work you need to install

MinGW (Minimalist GNU for Windows) from http://www.mingw.org/Welcome_to_MinGW_org

Then it should be possible to re-establish the symbolic links described in the http://rsewiki.elektro.dtu.dk/index.php/Software_installation#Regbot_software

and compile the code to a ".hex" file that can be loaded to the teensy.
