| On this page we will explain how to take good care of Chico during the Ciência Viva 2009 exhibition that takes place in the Feira Internacional de Lisboa from 18 to 20 June 2009.

| == Setup ==
| |
| | |
| The demo inventory consists of:
| |
| * '''Chico''' the robot (duh), which has a [[pc104]] CPU (10.10.1.50, username icub) in its head.
| |
| * '''icubsrv''' Dell XPS laptop: 10.10.1.51, username icub. No need to use or modify this machine, it contains a hard disk drive that gets mounted by Chico's read-only pc104 CPU at boot time. Don't worry about this machine, just keep it switched on.
| |
| * '''[[Chico3 laptop machine configuration|chico3]]''' Tsunami 17" laptop, 10.10.1.53, username icub. We will use this machine for YARP and all demo management.
| |
| | |
| Below Chico's table, looking from bottom to top, we have:
| |
| * APC UPS (Uninterruptible power supply)
| |
| * Xantrex XFR 60-46 power supply unit (the thick one) for motors
| |
| * Xantrex XFR 35-35 power supply unit (the thin one) for [[pc104]] and other motors
| |
| * '''[[iCubBrain server configuration|iCubBrain]]''' chassis containing two servers to be used for computation: '''icubbrain1''' (10.10.1.41, usual username) and '''icubbrain2''' (10.10.1.42)
| |
| | |
| == Starting YARP components ==
| |
| | |
| Launch the graphical '''[[Cluster Management in VisLab|Cluster Manager]]''' application on the chico3 laptop, by typing this in a terminal:
| |
| | |
| cd $ICUB_ROOT/app/default/scripts
| |
| ./icub-cluster.py $ICUB_ROOT/app/$ICUB_ROBOTNAME/scripts/vislab-cluster.xml

| === yarpserver ===
| |
| | |
| Click 'Run' to start yarpserver on chico3. The light above the 'Stop' button will become green.
| |
| | |
| === yarprun ===
| |
| | |
| Now we are ready to start 'yarprun' on all the machines we need (necessary for the distributed YARP modules that make up a demo to communicate with one another). In the 'Select' column, make sure that only the following machines are selected with a red light:
| |
| * chico3
| |
| * pc104
| |
| * icubbrain1
| |
| | |
| Click 'Run Selected' and wait a bit so that all machines can turn on their green 'On' light. The [[pc104]] can be slow and, sometimes, unpredictable.
| |
| | |
| Do all the selected machines have their 'On/Off' switch green by now? If so, proceed to the next step. If not, click on 'Check All' and see if we have a green light from the [[pc104]] now. You should see something like this:
