Notes

Desktop icons to launch the Application Manager and XMLs

Example: cameras.sh icon (to be placed in ~/Desktop/) contains:

 #!/bin/bash
 source ~/.bash_env
 cd $ICUB_ROOT/app/default/scripts
 ./manager.py cameras_320x240.xml

Note that Resource Finder searches for XMLs in $ICUB_ROOT/app/$ICUB_ROBOTNAME/scripts/ first, then in a number of other directories.

Starting YARP components

In case that (i.e., cluster_manager.sh) did not work, you can launch the program in a terminal:

  cd $ICUB_ROOT/app/default/scripts
  ./icub-cluster.py $ICUB_ROOT/app/$ICUB_ROBOTNAME/scripts/vislab-cluster.xml

Other components

Cameras

In case that (i.e., cameras.sh) did not work, type this inside a chico3 console:

  cd $ICUB_ROOT/app/default/scripts
  ./manager.py cameras_320x240.xml

That XML file is actually located in $ICUB_ROOT/app/$ICUB_ROBOTNAME/scripts/. Resource Finder gives priority to that directory, when $ICUB_ROBOTNAME is defined, as is the case for us (iCubLisboa01).

Alternatively, the second command can use the cameras_640x480.xml configuration, if you need a larger resolution.
