Anyone have any advice? There will be loss of data at a high enough rate, but what that threshold is depends on how much data the robot is trying to send (and how fast the receiving program can process it of course). You can specify a higher baud rate by setting SwitchToBaudRate in the robot's parameter file (see the "Robot Parameter Files" page in the ARIA 2.7 reference manual). Aria will do the initial conection at 9600 then switch up to that rate. Normally this is 38400 but you can also try 115200.

Basically, the occupancy greed is filled using a (simplified) model of the P3DX frontal sonar ring beams, instead of using the readings. Cheers, Raul.

Here we have an original inductive joystick for the pioneer-3dx robot, but the connection from SH2 board to joystick is missing. Realized that the joystick connector is in round mini-din shape and number 1-8 are marked to all of the pins, while the joystick socket on the SH2 board is of 8-position microfit type and no pin number allocated. So to make a wire-converter manually for this purpose, the pin allocation on the microfit socket is needed. Could anyone provide some hint?

After making this connection, the video output stopped. No signal seems to be sent to the monitor anymore. When turning the onboard PC on, it beeps the same way it has always beeped, but no video signal is sent to the monitor. Can anyone understand what is happening? Thank you in advance. Regards.

Message-ID: Hello. We have 2 "Pioneer 3" Robots (Pioneer P3-DX and another P3-AT), we had many problems with them because their computer cannot operate with an actualized Ubuntu version, so we decided to control them from the pc with a serial cable, and now we want to do it with a serial-bluetooth adapter to control it remotely. The problem is that now it just doesn't work, we were using the next basic program to control it with de usb-serial cable and I think we need to use another specification for the port, but if the bluetooth is only a bridge between both comunications it should work right?, why it doesn't? We are using the AirCable usb-serial adapter. This is the program we are using: driver ( name "p2os" provides ["position2d:0" "power:0" "sonar:0"] port "/dev/ttyUSB0" safe 1 ) I hope you can give us a clue. Regards.

In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: <4A677A38.40000@mobilerobots.com> Hi Oscar, The serial-bluetooth provide an RS232 serial connection at each end, correct? If so, then you might be able to continue using the same USB-serial adapter for the controlling computer interface, but maybe need to ensure that all the settings are correct on each end of the bluetooth connection. I don't have any real experience with these and can't give any details, sorry. I don't recall whether Player tries to automatically switch to a faster baud rate after connecting, but disabling that and using a fixed baud rate is one thing to try. You can set a baud rate in the firmware configuration using ARCOScf if you want to use something other than its default. You can also try to verify that the bluetooth adapter supports all aspects of the RS232 protocol, including all the control lines.
