Info

Accessories Genpowerd monitors the HOST serial RI port on /dev/ttyS0. Windows®’ ups.exe requires a dedicated serial port—COM2 on current systems, and prefers to monitor the CTS line. Consequently, we wire the onboard PC serial connector differently for Linux versus Windows® PCs. Please consult the ARCOS Chapters 6 and 7 for more details. 24
Chapter 5 Quick Start PREPARATIVE HARDWARE ASSEMBLY ActivMedia Robotics Your <strong>Pioneer</strong> 3 robot comes fully assembled and ready for out-of-the-box operation. However, you may need to attach some accessories that were shipped separately for safety. The procedures we describe herein are for control of the basic robot. If you have the onboard PC option, we recommend that you leave it off and perform the following tests first with a laptop or desktop computer tethered to the SERIAL port on the User Control Panel, then attack the many networking issues before you establish a remote-control connection with the onboard PC. Install Batteries CAREFUL Slide the batteries into the robot TERMINALS LAST. Otherwise, you will damage the robot. Out of the box, your <strong>Pioneer</strong> 3 robot comes with its batteries fully charged, although shipped separately, unless you have the special docking/charging system. Slide at least one and up to three batteries into the robot’s battery box through the back door. Balance them: one in the center; if two, then one on each side. Client-Server Communications Your robot requires a serial communication link with a client PC for operation. The serial link may be: A tether cable from the robot’s 9-pin serial connector on the User Control Panel to a computer A piggyback laptop cabled to the User Control Panel serial port Serial Ethernet Radio Modem An integrated onboard PC wired internally for direct onboard control DEMO AND SERVERDEMO CLIENTS MOBILEROBOTS’ robot-client software-development environments, including ARIA with ArNetworking and their respective demonstration programs demo and serverDemo (aka ARIA Demo and ArNetworking Demo, respectively), as well as the sonar-based advanced robotics localization and navigation software (SonARNL) with the GUI networked-client application, MobileEyes, come on CD-ROM with your new robot. MOBILEROBOTS customers also may obtain these and related software and updates from our support website: http://robots.activmedia.com When installed, the software typically require around four megabytes of hard-disk space. STARTING UP ARIA CLIENT AND ROBOT SERVER ARIA’s examples are text-based “terminal” applications that do not include a GUI, so its programs do not require X-Windows over Linux or special software on a remote PC client—a simple telnet session will do the trick. 25
