Basically all the steps we think are needed to get the Fall 208 Demo Script to work. This was gathered by the team and then experimented and revised further by Pito during the post-semester break.
Onboard Laptop Steps:
SSH into the robot’s onboard laptop (turtlebot@129.64.243.64)
Start a roscore
Do a bringup for the onboard laptop: “roslaunch cr_ros campus_rover.launch”
On another machine (needs to be more powerful for this than for the web app)
Run roslaunch cr_ros offboard_launch.launch
Wait until the bringup finishes. Look for “Odom received” message
On a third machine
Install Flask
Clone cr_web repo
cd into cr_web
Note: --host=0.0.0.0 and --with-threads are only needed if other client machines need to access the hosted app.
Go to localhost:5000/, or replace localhost with the other machine’s IP if you’re accessing it from a client machine. (edited)
Known dependencies:
aruco_detect (for fiducial_msgs import error)
pip install face_recognition
Kobuki docking might be part of the general TB2 install or may need to be separate
