Chico Instructions

Preliminaries

ICub has a PC104 with a flash disk configured to 10.10.1.50 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.

The laptop has 2 repositories /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

Running a demo

1 - Turn on chico2

       set the namespace to /icub
       "yarp namespace /icub"

       run the yarp server
       "yarp server"

       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)

       log in to pc104
       ssh icub@10.10.1.50

       set the namespace to /icub
       "yarp namespace /icub"

       make sure the name server is visible
       "yarp where" should detect the name server (10.10.1.???)

       run the yarp run server
       "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

       iCubDemoY3 --config /app/demoy3/fullBody.txt

7- Start facial expressions driver

       Open a pc104 console and run:
       $ICUB_DIR/app/faceExpressions/scripts/emotions.sh

8 - Start facial expresions demo

       In any machine:
       $ICUB_DIR/app/faceExpressions/scripts/cycle.sh

9 - Run the ball following demo
