Re:Programming the Pioneer 3 DX with Robotics Studio - 2009/09/04 11:43
Hi Viteps,
After a series of attacks my anti-spam filters are getting paranoid, that's probably why your old user got blocked. I am sorry about that. Will mark your new username as safe.
Good that you can control now the robot over the serial port.
To be honest, I've never used VPL, I just gave it a quick look in any new release.. Anyhow, as probably you already know, the minimum unit of code you can compile separately in Robotics Developer Studio is the service. This means, that every time you have a new service compiled (using for instance Visual Studio), the necessary dll files are created under the RDS bin directory.
I think that when VPL starts, the bin directory is checked and all available services will appear as new boxes to use in your diagrams.
So, as the explorer sonar services are provided as source code, the first thing you need to do is to compile them, and if the build is successful, the corresponding dlls would be available for use in VPL. Nevertheless, I have to say that I never tried to use these services from VPL, so I don't have a sample manifest.xml to show you.
Another option, which might be quicker for you, is to check MRDS 2008 R2. The Release 2 of Robotics Developer Studio comes now with a Sonar service. I didn't check it yet, but I guess this sonar service is better than mine. I will try and check it next week, so I will let you know the differences.
Let me know if you have problems compiling the source code from explorer sonar application.. Remember that it is composed of several services and you need them all to be sucessfully built to run the application. I might try to release a new version of the explorer using MRDS 2008 R2 and the new sonar service.. I´ll post any news on that here soon.
Cheers,
Raul.
