Functional description
Software class - and example
This page also has an explained behaviour plan example (bplan20).
C++ building blocks overview.
Low-level robot control
Robobot level 1 with interface to hardware and pose generation.
Line sensor
Description of the Line sensor functionality.
Robot.ini configuration file
[pose] gear = 19.0 wheeldiameter = 0.146 enctickperrev = 64 wheelbase = 0.243 log = true print = false
See Raubase configuration file for explanation.
Make a new behaviour plan
The easy way to make a new behaviour plan module is to copy an existing plan and rename a number of elements.
See Robobot_new_behaviour_plan.
Sensor calibration
See Robobot sensor calibration.
For the line sensor Line sensor.
Video streamer
A video streamer is installed called 'motion'.
run motion
To run the streamer, SSH to the robot and start motion
$ motion [0:motion] [NTC] [ALL] conf_load: Processing thread 0 - config file /etc/motion/motion.conf [0:motion] [NTC] [ALL] motion_startup: Logging to file (/home/local/.motion/motion.log)
NB! Remember to stop the streamer before trying to use the camera for other purposes.
Stop by ctrl-C
View the stream
To view the result, use a browser to open the address of the robot and port 8081, e.g. if the robot has IP '192.168.1.151':
192.168.2.151:8081
You should now see a stream of default 640x480 at 10 FPS as default; more options are available in /etc/motion/motion.conf.
The stream has a significant delay, and the framerate may be lower if the network is slow.
