The sudo is required to get administrator (super-user) privileges. the password is the users password.

Update the Robot software

The Robobot software is on an SVN (subversion) repository, update to newest version using:

cd svn/robobot
svn update

If C++ files were updated, then these apps need to be recompiled, continue with next section:

Recompile base software

When connected to the robot recompile the relevant software:

IP display

The ip_disp can show the robots IP on the robot display, it further monitors the start button and starts the Python mission app.

In the directory /home/local/svn/robobot/ip_disp/build:

cd /home/local/svn/robobot/ip_disp/build
make -j3

This should be recompiled if there are any changes.

Teensy - MQTT interface

The teensy_interface makes the robot interface available using the MQTT protocol and thus makes it available over the net.

In the directory /home/local/svn/robobot/ip_disp/build:

cd /home/local/svn/robobot/ip_disp/build
make -j3

This should be recompiled if there are any changes.
