This article describes '''Chico''' (code-name iCubLisboa01, [http://wiki.icub.org/wiki/ICub_versions iCub version] 1.2.1), the whole-body humanoid robot of [[Vislab]].


== Preliminaries ==
''For demo instructions, refer to [[iCub instructions]].''


ICub has a PC104 with a flash disk configured to 10.10.1.50
''Note: see [[Chico/Archive]] about historical information.''
It mounts the repositories that are on the laptop 10.10.1.51 (icub icub)
There is a support machine called chico2 (10.10.1.51) for running the yarp server, launching scripts and visualization.


TODO: to be completed and updated, in particular the firmware information below is obsolete.


The laptop has 2 repositories
= Preliminaries =
/export/code_64 for the laptop (compiled for 32bit)
/export/code_pc104 for the robot (compiled for 64bit)
They are anonymous, so changes are not commitable (DO NOT CHANGE)


Everything running with /icub namespace
* the iCub has a [[pc104|PC104]] with a flash disk configured with IP 10.10.1.50
* it mounts the repositories that are on the '''icub-laptop''' machine (10.10.1.53)


== Running a demo ==

1- Turn on the laptop
== Arm fine calibration ==


        run the yarp server
Refer to http://wiki.icub.org/wiki/ArmFineCalibration
        "yarp server"
        run the yarp run server
        "yarp run --server /icubsrv"
        optional: connect an external monitor and run ./home/icub/dualScreen


Basically, with yarpmotorgui set the arm joints to [-90 15 15 90]. Visually compare the arm angles with the reference picture.


2- Turn on the robot
== Hardware ==


        it will mount the repository
CAN 0, board 14 is just a spare board that lies in Chico's head (inherited from the design of the previous version of the head), not being used at the moment. It can slow down the CAN communication because the board is present and responding. If needed, we can disconnect it as shown:
        set the namespace to /icub
        "yarp namespace /icub"
        make sure the name server is visible
        "yarp where" should detect 10.10.1.51
        run the yarp run server
        "yarp run --server /pc104"

When a joint/encoder breaks, refer to [[Chico joint calibration]].


3- (Skip this fo now) Start yarp run
== Firmware ==


        cd /iCub/app/default/scripts/
Keep same Release and Version numbers; only increment Build number. Refer to [http://wiki.icub.org/wiki/Firmware this page] from the official iCub manual, using the following script:
        ./icub-cluster.sh run
  ./updateRobot.sh updateLisboa01.txt
        ./icub-cluster.sh check
        there must be 3 ok messages


        if some problem
[[Category:Robots]]
        ./icub-cluster.sh check
[[Category:Vislab]]
        ./icub-cluster.sh stop
        killall yarp
 
        killall yarp on pc104
 
        ./icub-cluster.sh run
 
 
4- turn on cameras
 
        cd /usr/local/src/robot/iCub/app/default/scripts
        ./cameras start
        sometimes connections must be established manually
        "yarp connect /icub/cam/right /icub/view/right"
        "yarp connect /icub/cam/left /icub/view/left"
        ./cameras stop
 
 
5- Run iCubInterface (hardware except cameras)
 
        open a pc104 console
        iCubInterface --config $ICUB_ROOT/app/iCubLisboa01/conf/icubSafe.ini
        wait for all boards to answer ( < 1 min )
        control^C to cancel
 
 
6- Run demo
 
        iCubDemoY3 --config /app/demoy3/fullBody.txt

This article describes Chico (code-name iCubLisboa01, iCub version 1.2.1), the whole-body humanoid robot of Vislab.

For demo instructions, refer to iCub instructions.

Note: see Chico/Archive about historical information.

TODO: to be completed and updated, in particular the firmware information below is obsolete.

Preliminaries

  • the iCub has a PC104 with a flash disk configured with IP 10.10.1.50
  • it mounts the repositories that are on the icub-laptop machine (10.10.1.53)

Maintenance

Arm fine calibration

Refer to http://wiki.icub.org/wiki/ArmFineCalibration

Basically, with yarpmotorgui set the arm joints to [-90 15 15 90]. Visually compare the arm angles with the reference picture.

Hardware

CAN 0, board 14 is just a spare board that lies in Chico's head (inherited from the design of the previous version of the head), not being used at the moment. It can slow down the CAN communication because the board is present and responding. If needed, we can disconnect it as shown:

How to disconnect board 14.

When a joint/encoder breaks, refer to Chico joint calibration.

Firmware

Keep same Release and Version numbers; only increment Build number. Refer to this page from the official iCub manual, using the following script: 

 ./updateRobot.sh updateLisboa01.txt
