However, since full source code is included, you can always recompile Aria and ArNetworking using GCC 4 or another version (just go into the Aria and ArNetworking directories and run "make clean; make"). mirror.dmz.local.net is the internal repository at MobileRobots we used to do the initial installation. If you want to upgrade to a standard version of Debian, you must change the repositories in the /etc/apt/sources.list file, do apt-get update then do apt-get dist-upgrade. You currently have a version based on Debian 3.1 but with many packages upgraded... it is a snapshot of the Debian "unstable" branch after 3.1 that we did some testing on. So to upgrade to Debian 4 (named "etch"), use "deb http://http.us.debian.org/debian etch main contrib non-free". (Or use a mirror site in Germany instead of http.us.debian.org, see http://www.debian.org/mirror/list for a list of mirror sites.) You can also attempt to downgrade to 3.1 by using "deb http://archive.debian.org/debian sarge main contrib non-free", though I don't think we've ever tried to do that and I don't know if it will work or not.

Do you still have these problems Chris? Do you know what kind of network adapter your robot has? It could be a problem with the drivers for that card, or how it's configured in Linux or how PCMCIA is set up in the BIOS... our hardware support guys might have seen this problem and have some things to try...

The base version number of the system is stored in the file /etc/debian_version. Each Debian version also has a name (3.1 is sarge, 4.0 is etch, etc.), or in place of a name like that you can say "stable" which means the most recent Debian release, or "unstable" which means whatever the current state of the development branch of Debian is. The Linux kernel has its own version number, this is what you see when you log in or run "uname -a". The Linux kernel is included within the Debian system, usually for any Debian version there is a standard version and also some alternate versions that can be downloaded and installed as well. Or if you want to you can download Linux separately and configure, compile, and install it manually (this requires more time and knowledge of what all the kernel options mean and how to install it, etc., but this is documented many places on the web) Reed C.Brunskill at surrey.ac.uk wrote: > Hi Sherine, > > We upgraded our P3AT to Debian 3.1 (sarge) and aria seemed to work fine. > We did have some intermittent problems with the networking failing when > under sporadic heavy network load though (we were streaming video) which > unfortunately required a complete system reboot to start working again. > > My advice would be to do what we did - use a different hard drive and > install the newer Debian version on to that, you can always switch back > to the original drive if you have problems then. > > Hope this helps. > > Regards, > > Chris Brunskill > > -----Original Message----- > From: pioneer-users-bounces at lists.mobilerobots.com > [mailto:pioneer-users-bounces at lists.mobilerobots.com] On Behalf Of > srady at rumms.uni-mannheim.de > Sent: 03 February 2009 17:39 > To: pioneer-users at lists.mobilerobots.com > Subject: [Pioneer-users] pioneer OS update > > Hi, > I am working with Pioneer 3dx, which comes with an internal PC having > Debian Linux 2.4.

If you visit their website www.digikey.com and type micro-fit (with hyphen) into the part search box you will find a wide variety of connectors available. I expect you will be looking for something like this: http://search.digikey.com/scripts/DkSearch/dksus.dll?Detail&name=WM1786- ND and you will also need the connectors like these, there are others: http://search.digikey.com/scripts/DkSearch/dksus.dll?Detail&name=WM1837- ND Crimp tools for making the cable assemblies can be expensive, particularly for small volume production and crimping using other techniques is seldom successful or reliable. But careful soldering is acceptable particularly when the connector is located inside the robot and is not being moved frequently. Just ensure that after soldering the wire insulation is good up to the socket and not prone to shorting, as the soldering process can melt off the insulation leaving bare wires exposed.
