Controlling the PC-BOT – Using ‘
playerv
’
Step 1:
Make sure the physical robot is in a safe place before attempting to drive the motors. Or, raise
the robot (using block under the base) so that the wheels are not touching the surface if it is sitting on a
table.
Step 2:
Open a terminal window.
Step 3a:
Player automatically runs upon boot-up, to allow the user to easily connect. This can be seen
by typing ‘ps aux |grep player’.
Typing this line can stop Player: ‘sudo kill -9 `pidof player`
Password is ‘wbr’
Note: Player automatically uses the ‘/home/wbr/wbr914.cfg’ file. If you want to run a different
player session, for example using the Stage simulation, you will need to stop this process before
running the ‘player’ command with the new ‘.cfg’ file.
Step 3b:
On the command line, type: ‘player –p 6665 wbr914.cfg’
