Robotino API2 Setup
This tutorial is based on the API2 quickstart tutorial in the Robotino wiki. Several discrepancies were discovered with Robotino OS 2.4 so this tutorial updates and further details the procedure.
NOTE: This tutorial was done using MacOs 10.8
Tutorial prerequisites
This tutorial assumes you are running Robotino os 2.4.
It is recommended that you start with a fresh disk image. Follow the instructions on the Robotino Wiki to re image your CF card.
Setting Up
Connect your PC and your robotino via ethernet to the same network.
Open a new terminal window and enter
ssh robotino@<your robotino ip>
where <your robotino ip> is the ip of your robotino found on the robotino built in display.
You will be prompted for a password for robotino. It is: robotino
Open ANOTHER terminal window and enter
ssh root@<your robotino ip>
the password this time is: dorp6
Installing API2
Begin by adding the following source to your sources.list file.
In your root terminal window enter
echo "deb http://doc.openrobotino.org/download/packages/i386 ./" >> /etc/apt/sources.list
check to see that it was added by entering
vim /etc/apt/sources.list
quit vim by pressing
<esc> :q!
to quit without saving.
Still in the root terminal enter
apt-get update apt-get install robotino-api2 robotino-examples
A quick test
In the robotino user terminal
mkdir -p build/circle cd build/circle
to create a directory and then make it your operating directory
ccmake /usr/local/robotino/examples/src/c++/circle/
If ccmake fails you need to run
apt-get install ccmake
In your root terminal and try the previous command again in your robotino user terminal
if ccmake runs press the c key twice and then the g key
finally run
make
To run your program go back to your root terminal and enter
target/example_circle 127.0.0.1
Your robotino should move in a circle
