Back to Regbot main page.
GUI
The GUI is a python-QT application used to configure the REGBOT. Runs under Windows (regbot.exe) or Linux (regbot.py, but requires the right python packages to be installed first)
Connect
The GUI looks like shown here in figure 1.
Figure 1. REGBOT GUI, then top-left frame controls the connection. Etiher communication over an USB com-port or using WiFi.
USB
Connect USB cable and figure out which COM port is created for the robot (NB! each robot connected to the PC has probably reserved a COM-port number). The control panel may help.
In figure 1 the robot has created COM6:.
WiFi
At DTU the robots attempt to connect to the DEVICE WiFi access point (SSID=device), it may take 20 seconds to establish the connection.
Each robot has a reserver IP:
10.16.166.XXX
Where XXX is the robot number. The robot Thea has number 51, so its IP number is 10.16.166.51.
A number of remarks and debug messages (shown in the lower left frame in figure 1) will not be send over WiFi (lower bandwidth).
