===Directory structure===
 
On the Raspberry the main directory and files are:
 
/home/local/
+-git        - Directory for libratyes available from a GIT repository (mostly Teensy/arduino libraries).
+-svn        - Directory for software from the subversion repository (Robobot specific software).
|  +-regbot  - Directory for the Teesny software (firmware) this part is called Regbot.
|  |  +-regbot_gui Debug app for Regbot.
|  |  +-regbot    The firmware source code.
|  +-robobot - Directory for the Robobot specific code.
|  |  +-setup      Directory with some default configuration files.
|  |  +-raubase    The basic Raspberry Pi software for Robobot.
|  |  |  +-src    Source code
|  |  |  +-build  Build directory with Makefile
|  |  |  |  +-log  Directory for data-monitoring logfiles
|  |  |  CMakeList.txt  Directives to generate a Makefile using cmake
|  |  |  robot.ini      Configuration and calibration file
|  |  +- ip_disp  Small app to update the IP address of the Raspberry.
|  |    log_ip_dist.txt Logfile for IP and temperature monotoring
|  +-log    - Directory with logfiles from ip_disp (IP, users and CPU temperature)
on_reboot.bash  - Script to start applications that should start after a reboot (ip_disp)

* [[Enable autostart]] and IP display
===Install on SD===
* [[Robobot base software installation]]
 
* Setup of [[Robobot webcam server]]
Barebone installation (Raspbian GNU/Linux 11 (bullseye) as of July 2023)
* Old [[robobot]], instructions are mostly depricated
 
[[Raspberry base install]]
 
[[Raspberry wifi]]
 
* make a bootable SD card
* Make a new user called local and set the group permissions
 
sudo adduser local gpio
 
* Install general-purpose development packages
 
===User and network (WiFi)===
 
Connect to DTU Wifi
 
* connect to DTU network without with secret password
* use NTP (network time protocol) with DTU network
 
===Additional packages===
 
Install the following packages:
libreadline-dev
libopencv-dev
libgpiod-dev
gpiod
cmake
subversion
aptitude
telnet
nmap
lsof
sudo apt install libreadline-dev libopencv-dev libgpiod-dev gpiod cmake subversion aptitude telnet nmap lsof
 
and, if available
sudo apt install libcli11-dev
 
Install command line interface library (if not found by 'apt install libcli11-dev')
cd
cd git
git clone https://github.com/CLIUtils/CLI11.git
 
Install the GPIO library to access pins on the Raspberry PI.
 
sudo apt install libpigpiod-if-dev
 
===Robobot base software===
 
To make the initial copy from the repository
 
cd
cd svn
svn checkout svn://repos.gbar.dtu.dk/jcan/robobot
 
To update with a new version
 
cd
cd svn/robobot
svn update
 
==Teensy==
 
Software tool chain installation
 
==Old Robobot pages==
 
[[robobot]] an extension to Regbot with a raspberry pi for more extended missions, but uses mission code in Teensy, like Regbot.
