Robobot
This page is for ROBOBOT, an extension of REGBOT with a raspberry pi and three wheels.
Installation observations
Raspicam
A rather short raspberry pi camera API is available from https://www.uco.es/investiga/grupos/ava/node/40. And can be downloaded from https://sourceforge.net/projects/raspicam/files/?
Unpack and install:
unzip raspicam-0.1.3.zip cd raspicam-0.1.3 mkdir build cd build cmake .. make sudo make install
Userland-master
To be able to install mobotware
Follow the guide under REGBOT for userland-master install
DNSMASQ
Install DNSMASQ
sudo apt install dnsmasq
allow dnsmasq to provide IP to pear-to-pear networks Edit the /etc/dnsmasq.conf and change/add the following line (for eth0)
dhcp-range=eth0,192.168.0.100,192.168.0.150,12h
To work, the eth0 must have an IP, if noone provides one, change /etc/dhcpcd.conf (dhcp client deamon) to have a default IP, if no DHCP server is available
Add the following lines at the end of /etc/dhcpcd.conf
# define static profile profile static_eth0 static ip_address=192.168.0.2/24 static routers=192.168.0.1 static domain_name_servers=192.168.0.1 # fallback to static profile on eth0 interface eth0 fallback static_eth0 # define static profile profile static_eth1 static ip_address=192.168.1.2/24 static routers=192.168.1.1 #static domain_name_servers=192.168.0.1 # fallback to static profile on eth1 interface eth1 fallback static_eth1
This will also give a default IP for an eventual second network (usb-to-cable) if needed
Now, after a reboot, you should be able to connect a PC directly with at network cable to a PC, and the PC should get an IP from the raspberry, so now
ssh local@192.168.0.2
should work
Mobotware
Requires a number of packages - see Install on raspberry
ROBOBOT demo C++
This is an examplesoftware in C++ to access both raspberry camera and REGBOT, and with an example mission controlled from the raspberry.
