Robobot 4

Back to Robobot

Start the robot

At the competition, the robot must be started using the start button.

Press the start button (be prepared that the wheels will turn after a few seconds (to load the Python app).

Start from the command line

With a SSH connection to the robot, navigate to the directory with the Python app:

cd svn/robobot/mqtt_python

Change the IP address in the script mqtt-client.py to match your robot (in the bottom of the file, localhost should do). Then execute the script by:

python3 mqtt-client.py -n

The parameter "-n" tells the app to start now, i.e., without waiting for a start button (see 'python3 mqtt-client.py --help' for other options).

This should do the same as pressing the start button.

For further details, see Robobot MQTT-client.
