How to enable REST API?

[Jfisher98]

Hi,

I have recently re-imaged the Robotino3 to the latest version. When I try request the robots data from the RESTful server using "http://192.168.0.1/cam0" I am returned 404 not found. Do I need to start the RESTful server?

In addition, on boot from the fresh image the Robotino Factory Program connects to the robot, but doesn't display on the list of accessible robots. How can I fix this issue?

Thanks,

J

You may have issues with your network configuration. What is your Robotino's IP address. What does

ifconfig

show?

Hi verbeek,

Thanks for getting back to me, I am in the university tomorrow and I will have a look and report back to you.

Would you have a list of tasks or would you just like me to send you the ifconfig?

Thanks,

J

[verbeek]

It must be something with the networking. Send me the ifconfig output.

[Jfisher98]

No problems, I will get that to you tomorrow evening. Thanks!

What if you request the cam0 from 192.168.43.4 ? This is your WLAN interface and probably the interface of which you are connected to Robotino.

What if you run Firefox on Robotino? Then all IP addresses should do.

Hi Verbeek,

I managed to get everything running.

I have a couple of questions regarding robotino factory:

Can you use robotino factory and robotino view together?

If not how could I go about creating a program for factory?

Thanks,

J

[verbeek]

Robotino View and Robotino Factory are two totally different things. View is for creating data flow programs driving Robotino around. Factory is for creation of a map, definition of goal poses, pathes, stations ... There are a few blocks in View so that you can push jobs to Robotino driving it from pose to pose (defined with factory).

[Jfisher98]

Hi Verbeek,

I have since resolved these issues. I have a few new issue though...

When I create a pose and tell the robot "go to position" in robotino view, the robot comes up with a red cross on factory and nothing happens.

Additionally, I have a robotino3, is it possible to attach a realsense camera? I have connected it and enabled the real sense services on the browser, but nothing works.

Would you be able to help?

Thanks,

J

[verbeek]

Robotino3 does not have USB3 and therefor the Realsense does not work.

For "go to position" you need a map and free space in the map. Check the costmap with Robotino Factory.

[Jfisher98]

When I go to create a map it allows me to drive around but it just keeps the original map. Would you have a guide somewhere to use Factory? I can't find it on the wiki, one of the links 404'd.

Help in Robotino Factory? Is your laserscanner working?

[Jfisher98]

Is a laser scanner required? We do not currently have one.

[verbeek]

Sure you need a laser. This is the sensor to scan the room, create the map, do the localization.
