From tsokas at ekt.gr Tue Dec 9 03:37:36 2008 From: tsokas at ekt.gr (Nicolas Tsokas) Date: Tue, 9 Dec 2008 10:37:36 +0200 Subject: [Pioneer-users] Problem installing WiFi PCMCIA card on Pioneer Message-ID: <200812090837.mB98bCrl007104@mailboxhub1.ekt.gr> Hi all, I have just installed Ubuntu 7.04 on two of our Lab's Pioneers (they have Versalogic VSBC cards) because I had some problems with serial communications under RedHat7.3. ARIA and serial port programming seem to work fine now. The robots have "Avaya Wireless Gold" branded WiFi cards, which worked fine under RedHat7.3. They just needed some modules loaded (orinoco, orinoco_cs etc.) in "rc.local" file. WiFi cards are mounted on the PC104-to-PCMCIA adapter that Pioneers receive. The problem is that I cannot make these WiFi cards work with Ubuntu. They don't show up in Network Devices. I have been instructed to create a file "/etc/default/pcmciautils" and add a line PCIC="yenta_socket" in it. Then "modprobe" orinoco module and then initiate PCMCIA support with "/etc/init.d/pcmciautils start". But no luck. Not even the leds on the WiFi card get powered. I guess most people here work with PCMCIA WiFi cards mounted on Pioneers. Anyone willing to help?... Thank you in advance, Nicolas __________________________ Nicolas Tsokas Phd student National Technical University of Athens Tel. +306944228163 Email: tsokas at ekt.gr -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Message-ID: Hi all, When I connect to the robot through ssh and run "demo", arrow keys do not work properly. Instead of accelerating and turning the robot around they just switch between modes: when I hit up-arrow it switches to "acts" mode as if I had hit "a" and so on. It all used to work well through telnet. What Am I missing? Thank you.

You can also look at the source code of ARIA to see how it implements the protocol: see the code for the ArRobotPacketReciever, ArRobotPacketSender, ArRobotPacket, ArBasePacket, and ArRobot classes (and others as needed). If you have any specific questions, feel free to ask on the pioneer-users list.
