Robotino factory not working

[floriegel]

Hi,

i just freshly installed the latest image (4.20.9) on e new SSD as described on the RobotinoWiki. Unfortunately, robotino factory isn't working.
I can access the webinterface and establish a connection via robotino view. According to the webinterface, smartsoft is running (master and slave) in version 3.3.3.
But when I try to connect from Robotino Factory (on the robotino via 127.0.0.1), the connection sign becomes green but nothing happens.
When smartsoft slave is active, a robotino symbol with a red cross at its side appears on the canvas and the IP field shows NIA.
Do you have any suggestion?

Thank you!

Please check the configuration files. Can you post the slave and master conf files from /etc/robotino?

[floriegel]

These are the config files.

[verbeek]

Please also post smartsoft_common.conf

[floriegel]

This is the smartsoft_common config file.

The configuration looks fine. Strange. I would need more infos. Please post a logbundle.

[floriegel]

Thanks a lot! I really appreciate your help!

[verbeek]

Everything looks fine. What exactly is the problem? Could you post a screenshot of Robotino Factory?

[floriegel]

Good morning,

the image shows the state of robotino factory after connecting to Robotino locally (symbol turns green and it says connected).
As you can see, there is a small red cross on its side and the IP says NIL.
When I try to record a map, nothing happens. Robotino doesn't move and no sensor data is shown.
However, it works perfectly to connect to the online interface and move Robotino manually or via the preconfigured programs (second image).
It seems like only Robotino Factory isn't working.

In smartsoft_slave.conf you configured Robotino's IP address to be 172.26.1.1

Is Robotino reachable under this address? Can you enter 172.26.1.1 in the web interface and you get the web pages?

You could configure 127.0.0.1 as Robotino's IP address in smartsoft_slave.conf. But if you want to connect from outside Robotino you should configure Robotino's non local address there.

[floriegel]

The web interface is reachable over 172.26.1.1.
I tried before to change the RobotinoIP to 127.0.0.1. Unfortunately, this doesn't solve the problem.

Please open a terminal and execute

ifconfig

please post the output

This is the output from ifconfig.

Ok, now I learned that you are using a Hokuyo UST-10LX. You should change teh smartsoft_slave.conf

lasertype=hokuyoEthernetfromRGBD

The UST-10LX has 192.168.0.10 as default address. So you should configure eth0 to 192.168.0.1

RobotinoIP you should use the WLAN ip address. Otherwise you can not connect from outside Robotino.

Ok. Wow. That did the trick. I didn't think of configuring the lidar first.
Thank you so much!
