 Here are some background details on Darwin.
-Darwin uses the '''Ubuntu OS''' and '''C++''' to run. For the vision aspect, I should be using '''OpenCV''' to tweak with the images.

 As a start to familiarizing with Darwin, connect Darwin to the router via an Ethernet cable and log into it via Secure Shell (SSH).

 There are other ways to connect to Darwin to be picked up along the way.
-'''NOTE''': We have upgraded Darwin to Ubuntu 12.04 server. This means that it does not have GUI like a normal computer.

 To modify and play around with the codes in Darwin, import them into your own computer to edit and export them back into Darwin to execute, via the use of the Ubuntu Terminal ONLY.
 Search the Internet for the relevant codes to achieve this.
-Another way you can modify the source codes would be to use the command ''sudo nano /path/to/C++/text/'' to open up the text file and edit right inside Darwin.

-Logging into the robot is different from what the Robotis website [http://support.robotis.com/en/] described as the DASL team has tweaked the authorization for specific purposes.

 You will need to enter the password set by the user.
