repository for software - client and robot

• client: svn://repos.gbar.dtu.dk/jcan/regbot/qtgui
• robot: svn://repos.gbar.dtu.dk/jcan/regbot/regbot

On a Linux computer do something like this:

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

Install software

Get the client software (regbot.exe) from the course homepage, place it in a directory, this directory will be default for configuration file and result files from the robot.

A driver must be installed to get in contact with the robot - see installation in windows

The driver will (on Windows) create a com-port when connected - most likely com3 or any higher number. When the robot is disconnected by unplugging the cable, then the client probbly needs to be restarted if it was connected when the cable was unplugged (no connection detect in windows).
