Vizzy Segway
Segway RMP 50
The Player project http://playerstage.sourceforge.net/ includes a driver for all the Segway RMP platforms. The Player version installed is the 3.0.2, which needs the CAN driver from Kvaser http://www.kvaser.com/. For new versions of linux, a new version of Kvaser is required (Beta version): ftp://ftp.kvaser.com/linux. To get the Username and Password send email to nmoutinho@isr.ist.utl.pt.
After installing player, a way to test the installation is to plug an USB joystick for controlling the Segway and define a configuration file for player as follows:
driver
(
name "linuxjoystick"
provides ["joystick:0" ]
requires ["position2d:0"]
alwayson 1
timeout 0.0
max_speed [ 3.0 3.0 30 ]
port "/dev/input/js0"
)
driver
(
name "segwayrmp"
provides ["position2d:0" "position3d:0" "power:0"]
bus "usb"
usb_device "/dev/ttyUSB0"
max_xspeed 1.5
max_yawspeed 80
)
Then, execute
player <configFileName>
