SolidWorks 2016 Roboclub shop tools
We currently use the following software:
Windows 8 x64 bit
OpenCV 2.4.9
boofcv 0.17
java 8 update 20
apachie ant 1.6+ can get from http://ant.apache.org/bindownload.cgi
maven
coolterm (serial monitor)
- Install the Java 8 version of the JDK
- Install IntelliJ IDEA Ultimate Student Edition (or download the community edition)
git clone https://github.com/CMU-Robotics-Club/RoboBuggy.gitcd Robobuggy/real_time/surface_src/java_src./gradlew eclipse- Follow the steps at Eclipse -> Intellij Migration to open the project in Intellij IDEA
Linux
Download the appropriate deb: https://packages.debian.org/jessie/librxtx-java AMD64: https://packages.debian.org/sid/amd64/librxtx-java/download
Use dpkg --install <filename> to install
Per this: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1747382 it looks like you'll need to then do the following:
Right click on the project, and add Jar/Folder to the build path:
/usr/share/java/RXTXcomm.jar
Then, within that very .jar, you'll need to point it to the native library (.so) folder located at:
/usr/lib/jni
Also, you might need this line:
System.setProperty("gnu.io.rxtx.SerialPorts", PORT_NAME);
which will make sure that rxtx is able to read the serial port. Otherwise you'll have to create a symlink.
Also, here's a link to the FAQ: http://rxtx.qbang.org/wiki/index.php/FAQ
For core system, you will use Java. You may try to convince us why you shouldn't use java. For offline tools, you can use pretty much what ever you want. We mostly use Java and C, with a little C++, python, bash scripts and Matlab
The sensors which we currently have:
* Encoder
* Potentiometer
* Inertial Measurement Unit
* GPS
* voltage Sensor
* Camera
The system has two actuators:
* Front wheel servo
* Pneumatic Breaks
The control system is separated into two parts high level which runs on a surface pro 2 and low level which runs on an Arduino mega
