Raubase configuration file

Robot.ini

The configuration file is called robot.ini and must be found in the default directory. If no robot.ini is found, it will be created with default values.

The default robot.ini looks (pt) like this:

[section]
name = value

Each of the sections is explained a bit here.

[Service]

[service]
logpath = log/
; add '%d' in the logpath (e.g. "log_%d/" to generate a timestamped path. = 

Note: remember to end the path with a '/' slash.

Service creates a directory for log files. In this case, it is called 'log', and all previous log files will be overwritten by the files from the newest run.

If logpath is

[service]
logpath = log_%d/

Then a number log directories will be created, like:

$ ls
CMakeCache.txt       log                      log_20231231_134200.702
CMakeFiles           log_20231231_133902.348  raubase
Makefile             log_20231231_133909.383  robot.ini
cmake_install.cmake  log_20231231_133913.291

With default options, about 150 kb will be created every second.

[id]

[id]
type = robobot
idx = 149
; robot 'name' and 'idx' are read-only, use command line option to change = 
name = Psyche

These are read-only. The robot (and Raspberry) names are determined by the Regbot.

device = /dev/ttyACM0
log = true
print = false
confirm_timeout = 0.04  

On Linux, all devices are seen as files, and /dev/ttyACM0 is the default name for the Regbot interface.

confirm_timeout is the timeout in ms for retransmission of messages to the Regbot. Configuration messages to the Regbot are queued and sent one at a time until positively acknowledged by the Regbot.

[state]

[state]
log = true
print = false 

This is for the heartbeat messages from Regbot. This includes e.g. the battery voltage.

[encoder]

[encoder]
rate_ms = 8
log = true
print = false
encoder_reversed = true

The motor encoder has the movement of the motors. The rate_ms is the interval at which the encoder count is sent by the Regbot. This interval also determines the update rate of the robot pose.

For all Robobots, the encoder signals are reversed. That is, the two encoders A and B, are swapped.
