||
7 | 1) Go to colony/trunk/code/projects/libwireless/lib and run "make". |
||

9 | 386 | emarinel | 3) Put a robot in programming mode and plug it into the computer. |
10 | 486 | emarinel | 4) Go to colony/trunk/code/projects/colonet/robot/robot_slave and run "make program". |
11 | 386 | emarinel | Now the robot is ready. |
12 | |||
13 | Part II - Server setup. |
||

17 | 386 | emarinel | 1) Go to colony/trunk/code/projects/libwireless/lib and run "make colonet". |
18 | 557 | emarinel | 2) Go to colony/trunk/code/projects/colonet/server and run "make". |
19 | 397 | emarinel | 3) In the same directory, run "./ColonetServer". |
20 | 386 | emarinel | Now the server is ready. |
21 | |||
22 | Part III - Client (GUI) setup. |
||
23 | 486 | emarinel | 1) Go to colony/trunk/code/projects/colonet/client and run "make". |
24 | 386 | emarinel | 2) In the same directory, run "sudo make install" to copy the program to the www directory. |
25 | 3) In your browser, to go http://server_hostname/colonet, where server_hostname is the hostname of the computer that |

30 | TROUBLESHOOTING |
||
31 | |||
32 | 399 | emarinel | If you get an error like: |
33 | Failed to write to xbee, error 9. |
||
34 | Failed to join token ring. |
||
35 | ERROR - colonet_wl_init failed. |
||
36 | initialize_server: initWireless failed |
||
37 | |||
38 | The xbee on the specified wireless port/file descriptor is not being recognized by the computer (assuming it is |
||
39 | plugged in and you are using the right port (/dev/ttyUSB0, /dev/ttyUSB1)). Try unplugging it and plugging it in again. |
||
40 | Check the wireless port (-w option of ColonetServer). |
