Setting up your environment
What will you need? Where can you find these resources? Who can you ask for help?
Of course, there's not much point in having software that interfaces with hardware without letting your software interface with your hardware. To get a basic setup going, you will need:
A USB2Dynamixel
Any Robotis Dynamixel servo
A laptop, preferably running linux (you will need to change the port names in
dynamixels.py
)An internet connection
The first thing you want to do is clone the repositories with the following code:
git clone https://github.com/CCGSRobotics/RoboHUD
git clone https://github.com/ROBOTIS-GIT/DynamixelSDK
And move them somewhere else:
mkdir ~/GUI
mv RoboHUD DynamixelSDK ~/GUI
cd ~/GUI
From there, the next step is to install the DynamixelSDK
cd DynamixelSDK/python
python3 setup.py build && sudo python3 setup.py install
With the Python setup complete, you can now move into the Driving
directory
cd ~/GUI/RoboHUD/Server/Driving
