| REGBOT comes in 3 versions:
| |
| * version 2B - with extension boards to match version 3
| |
| * version 3 - configuration with (almost) all on one board ([[REGBOT version 3]] technical notes)
| |

| '''Robobot'''
| |
| | |
| Robobot is a base robot for "Building dependable robot 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-gui.exe (might be an old version, see the "about" box)
| |
| | |
| For windows a complete executable file (''regbot.exe'') is in the ''dist'' subdirectory of QTGUI, or can be downloaded as an exe-file from the link above.
| |
| | |
| ==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 3.1046 (march 2019) implemented chirp command
| |
| *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 : 3.1046 (March 2019): support for communication through Raspebrry PI bridge.
| |
| *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

| ==Install software tools==
| |
| | |
| The software tools to modify the software requires some tools.
| |
| | |
| ===Linux===

| [[Software installation]] and tool-chain - Linux
| |
| | |
| ===Windows===

| |
| | |
| ==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.
| |
| | |
| [[File:regbotVision.JPG|200px]]
| |
| | |
| The [[Camera based line follower]] detects a tape line in front of the robot and controls the robot to follow the line through the serial connection.
| |
| | |
| Go to [[Vision based Line Follower]] for detailed information on the project and instructions on how to setup a new Line Following RegBot.
| |
| | |
|
| |
|
| ===ESP8266=== | | == Install notes == |
|
| |
|
| This extension adds wireless communication to the robot through the Teensy's UART serial connection. | | This section is primarily installation notes and more detailed descriptions not usually needed by the end-user. |
