| − | '''Robobot'''
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Robobot is a base robot for "Building dependable 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
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | For windows a complete executable file (''regbot.exe'') is in the ''dist'' subdirectory, or can be downloaded as an exe-file from the link above.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | ====windows 8/10====
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | On windows 8, a USB driver must be installed to get in contact with the robot - see [[installation in windows]] - should be OK in Windows 10
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | 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 may need to be restarted, if it was connected when the cable was unplugged (no connection detect in windows).
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | ==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

| − | ==Extensions==
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | ===Camera based line follower===
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | 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.
