资源说明：A new robotics platform for myself
robot2 ====== After two years of nothing, I've decided to continue my work with elementary robotics. This time I utilize a vastly different, decoupled architecture that relies on ZeroMQ for messaging a central robot control daemon. This will make for a much more robust robot platform that can benefit from quick prototyping. The central control daemon (written in C++) listens on port `TBD` for instructions and relays them to the robot. Robot Hardware Support ---------------------- Currently I am working with the Robotics Connection Serializer, but I plan to do work with Arduino in the near future. In the end I aim to support both platforms. Components Included ------------------- **Hardware Control** * **daemon/** -- Contains the main driver daemon; written in C++. There remains much work to be done to make the drive control more sophisticated, but it can handle basic movement and control timeouts. **Basic Clients** * **keycontrol.py** -- Control the robot with the keyboard; written in Python/PyGame. * **joycontrol.py** -- Control the robot with a joypad; written in Python/PyGame. **Advanced Clients** I will be writing some basic AI to control the robot through sensor perception and simple heuristics. These will likely be contained in different repositories, but I will make note of them here. API Documentation ----------------- _TODO_. Considering JSON protocol. This will follow when a more robust mechanism for controlling the robot speed differentials is implemented. It will probably also allow specification of timeouts in the event commands are being relayed over the network. Gamepad Support in Unix ----------------------- **PS3 controller** For PS3 Sixaxis controller support, compile the [QtSixA](http://qtsixa.sourceforge.net/) library. From there, Sixaxis controllers work out of the box over bluetooth. * `sixad` starts the service * `qtsixa` can configure individual device profiles, functions, features, etc. Note: Remove xorg joystick input packages to prevent it from aliasing the mouse. **Xbox 360 controller** _TODO_ **Wiimote** _TODO_ License ======= Copyright (c) 2008-2010, 2012 Brandon Thomas * http://possibilistic.org * echelon@gmail.com This code is available under the MIT and GPL 2 licenses.
