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]].


* the iCub has a [[pc104|PC104]] with a flash disk configured to 10.10.1.50
''For demo instructions, refer to [[iCub instructions]].''
* it mounts the repositories that are on the '''icubsrv''' Dell XPS laptop (10.10.1.51, username icub)
* there is a desktop support machine called '''[[Chico2 desktop machine configuration|chico2]]''' (10.10.1.52) for running yarpserver, launching scripts and visualization. When we do a demo outside VisLab, we use the black Tsunami laptop '''[[Chico3 laptop machine configuration|chico3]]''' (10.10.1.53) for the same purposes.


''Note: see [[Chico/Archive]] about historical information.''


The icubsrv laptop has 2 repositories:  
TODO: to be completed and updated, in particular the firmware information below is obsolete.
* /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 committable (DO NOT CHANGE)

Warning: this section is obsolete. Refer to [[iCub demos]] instead.
 
1 - Turn on chico2
       
        set the namespace to /icub
        "yarp namespace /icub"
 
        run the yarp server (note that "yarpserver" is just one word. This way Cluster Manager can kill it)
        "yarpserver"
 
        run the yarp run server
        "yarp run --server /chico2"
   
 
2 - Turn on the laptop
 
        '''not needed'''
        set the namespace to /icub
        "yarp namespace /icub"
 
        '''not needed'''
        make sure the name server is visible
        "yarp where" should detect the name server (10.10.1.???)
 
        '''not needed'''
        run the yarp run server
        "yarp run --server /icubsrv"
     
2- Turn on the robot (it will mount the repository that is stored on the laptop)
       
        switch on the power supply units (grey boxes under the table)
 
        switch on the cpu and motors of the iCub (green switches behind the iCub)
 
        '''not needed'''
        log in to pc104
        ssh icub@10.10.1.50
 
        '''not needed'''
        set the namespace to /icub

        '''not needed'''
        make sure the name server is visible

        '''not needed'''
        run the yarp run server
        "yarp run --server /pc104"
 
        '''make sure''' "./yarp run --server /pc104" is running on pc104 and that "/pc104" is seen by the yarp server (by doing a "yarp name list").
        if is not, "killall yarp" on pc104 and "./yarp run --server /pc104"
 
 
3- (Skip this for now) Start yarp run
 
        cd /iCub/app/default/scripts/
        ./icub-cluster.sh run
        ./icub-cluster.sh check
        there must be 3 ok messages
 
        if some problem
        ./icub-cluster.sh check
        ./icub-cluster.sh stop
        killall yarp
 
        killall yarp on pc104
 
        ./icub-cluster.sh run
 
 
4- turn on cameras
 
        On chico2 do:
 
        cd $ICUB_DIR/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"
 
        To turn off the cameras do:
        ./cameras stop
 
        To change the size of the images edit file:
        $ICUB_DIR/app/default/scripts/config.sh
 
 
 
 
5- Run iCubInterface (hardware except cameras)
 
        UNLOCK THE RED BUTTON SWITCH
        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 YOGA demo
 
        on pc104 or chico2:
        iCubDemoY3 --config /app/demoy3/fullBody.txt


* 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)

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
