Useful Instructions for Crubots Samples Launching - 2010/02/09 19:09 Hi !

I've been having different conflicts with launching simulation samples in Crubots. Now everything is working properly and using the cranium dashboard. So here is more a less what I've done.

Useful details I noticed for correct launching are the followings:

1.Everything must be unzipped as referred in <MRDS>/packages/crubots.

2.From Actuators folder, open both C# Projects (GenericPanTilt & PanTiltCam) and BEFORE building them, run a dss node and type:

bin/dssprojectmigration.exe packages/crubots/actuators/genericpantilt press enter and now do the same for bin/dssprojectmigration.exe packages/crubots/actuators/pantiltcam.

Now go to the C# opened projects and Rebuild both. [In PanTiltCam folder resides a logimove.dll, which if any troubles as in my case, copy it to <MRDS>/bin and everything will work.

Not sure of it...]

3. The next steps consider opening the next folders and keep on doing the same of opening the C# Project and migrating it before building using the dss node.

NOTE: When building project you may need to change the folders (if needed 'cuz I don't remember now after all the dizzy things I did) at project properties. Also if some references at a project present a warning just delete them and add it again from BROWSE and <MRDS>/bin [They will be there if you migrated correctly].

4. Finally just run any project and they must work fine.
[A correction that I needed to do concerns mainly the erase of THETA variable in recall of the PIONEERGPS]

Hope this help at least in reducing the time of explaining or future queries, Raul ! hehehe.

Best Regards.

Re:Useful Instructions for Crubots Samples Launching - 2010/02/10 14:57 Thanks a lot! Basically, I forgot to add any documentation about the PanTilt service.. I will do it as soon as I can.

The logimove.dll is a Logitech Orbit/Sphere webcam mover dll library. Description is available here.

The PanTiltCam Service uses this dll in order to control a Logitech camera. The dll library works directly with the Logitech driver, so I don't think the service will work with any other pan tilt camera.

The GenericPanTilt service is a generic service to be used in control services, so they can be written independent of the hardware being used.

Executing the Dss Project Migration over the whole crubots directory should be ok:

Code:


 bin/dssprojectmigration.exe packages/crubots

I have to check the theta variable, which I added later..

Thanks again for the instructions, I'll try and get them added to an updated release and crubots page. Raúl Arrabales Moreno. conscious-robots.com/raul
