===Toolchain installation===
 
 
Install arduino 1.05 from
 
http://arduino.cc/en/Main/OldSoftwareReleases
 
(newer arduino versions is not supported - as of September 2014)
 
 
Then get and install the teensey tool installer from:
 
https://www.pjrc.com/teensy/td_download.html
 
 
Run the installer - on 32 bit linux it is:
 
chmod +x teensyduino.32bit 
 
./teensyduino.32bit
 
 
It installes (only) as a merge with the arduino installed directory (arduino-1.0.5).
 
 
From this installation we need only some hardware parts in
 
 
arduino-1.0.5/hardware/tools
 
arduino-1.0.5/hardware/teensy/cores/teensy3
 
 
===Teensy loader and udev rules===
 
 
Teensy loader:
 
Get the loader - and udev rules - from
 
https://www.pjrc.com/teensy/loader.html
 
 
The teensy loader needs to be unpacked  - on linux it is:
 
gunzip teensy.gz
 
chmod +x teensy
 
 
For Linux get also the udev rules, and copy them to /etc/udev/rules.d to get read-write access to the usb connection (/dev/ttyACM0) and others:
 
 
sudo cp 49-teensy.rules /etc/udev/rules.d/
 
 
===Regbot software===
 
 
Then get the regbot software (by mail from jca@elektro.dtu.dk)
 
 
It consist of a series of directories but is missing the tools directory,
 
copy (or link) the arduino-1.0.5/hardware/tools directory to the regbot directory,
 
or set the TOOLPATH in the makefile.
 
 
In the Makefile ensure that the first part is set reasonable, i.e. something like :
 
 
# The name of your project (used to name the compiled .hex file)
 
TARGET = regbot
 
# The teensy version to use, 30 or 31
 
TEENSY = 31
 
TEENSY_CORE_SPEED = 72000000
 
OPTIONS = -DUSB_SERIAL -DLAYOUT_US_ENGLISH
 
# directory to build in

#************************************************************************
 
# Location of Teensyduino utilities, Toolchain, and Arduino Libraries.
 
# To use this makefile without Arduino, copy the resources from these
 
# locations and edit the pathnames.  The rest of Arduino is not needed.
 
#***********************************************************************
 
# path location for Teensy Loader, teensy_post_compile and teensy_reboot

Small robot intended for control-1 exercises.

It consist of an 72MHz 32 ARM processor on a teensy 3.1 board, controlling an pololu motor controller and 2 small pololu motors with magnetic encoder. a further sensor is sparkfun 9050 IMU. Supplied by 12V 2A from 220V on a thin wire.
