From reed at mobilerobots.com Fri May 1 13:00:37 2009 From: reed at mobilerobots.com (Reed Hedges) Date: Fri, 01 May 2009 13:00:37 -0400 Subject: [Pioneer-users] Announcement: New Software Updates (ARIA, ARNL, SONARNL, MobileEyes, Mapper3, MobileSim) Message-ID: <49FB2AB5.5090803@mobilerobots.com> MobileRobots has released new versions of all research/development software, including ARIA, ARNL, SONARNL, MobileEyes, Mapper3 and MobileSim. ARIA and ARNL include some important changes, summarized below. Packages for Linux and Windows, as well as detailed change logs, can be downloaded from our customer support site . As always, if you have any questions or problems, contact us at support at mobilerobots.com Contents: * ARIA * ARNL, SONARNL and MOGS * MobileEyes * MobileSim * Mapper3 and Mapper3Basic * New support website * MobileRobots Inc. has moved to a new address ARIA 2.7.0 ========== See more detailed changes list at Download ARIA at Laser Rangefinders ------------------ This release introduces a change that will allow ARIA to better support multiple range finding devices of different kinds on a robot. This includes new ArRobotConnector and ArLaserConnector classes that replace ArSimpleConnector, and a new ArLMS2xx class that replaces ArSick, and a new ArLaser base class. (All old classes remain for compatibility.) In addition, details on what types of lasers the robot is equipped with, and their configuration details, are configured either in the robot's parameter file, or specified on the command line. Instead of creating an ArSick object, a program can now let ARIA create the appropriate ArLaser objects based on this configuration information (these objects are stored in a list in the ArRobot class). See the reference documentation and example programs for information on how to use ArRobotConnector and ArLaserConnector. ARIA also now supports the Hokuyu URG laser rangefinder (specificially the URG 04-LX and other compatible SCIP 1.1 URG devices). Visual C++ 2008 --------------- Visual C++ 2008 solution and project files are now included with ARIA. Java ---- Java 1.6 is now used to build the Java wrapper libraries rather than 1.4. The Java wrapper libraries are now provided in Java packages (rather in the global namespace): these packages are com.mobilerobots.Aria and com.mobilerobots.ArNetworking. You will need to modify Java code to import classes from these packages. Other Changes ------------- On Windows, the ws2_32 network sockets library is now used instead of wsock32. Aria now includes classes to support the RVision PTZ camera, Hokuyu URG (04-LX/SCIP 1.1) laser, some additional GPS data (if receiver provides it), lateral motion on a Seekur robot, and various other miscellaneous improvements and features. ArNetworking ArServerModeRatioDrive will now stop the robot if it does not receive a new command from a client after 2 seconds. This prevents runaway robots if a wireless network connection is lost. You must update to MobileEyes 2.2.4 or greater which supports this. (You can also disable this behavior in ArServerModeRatioDrive.) ArNetworking now has new support for delaying the processing of an ArConfig update until the robot is idle (e.g. has finished going to a goal). MobileEyes 2.2.4 also now supports this new idle config processing mode, if present in the server. (You can disable idle processing by setting a flag in ArServerBase). ARNL, SONARNL and MOGS 1.7.0 ============================ See more detailed changes list at Download at Important Change to Localization Components ------------------------------------------- This release introduces an important change in the way ARNL is distributed: Instead of a single library (either libArnl or libSonArnl) being provided, ARNL has been split into a base library (BaseArnl) that includes common utilities and the path planning features, plus separate libraries each containing a localization method. There are currently three localization libraries available: ARNL (laser localization), SONARNL (sonar localization) and MOGS (new GPS positioning/localization). If in the past you used ARNL, you must now install and link to the BaseArnl library in addition to ARNL. If in the past you used SONARNL, you must now install and link to the BaseArnl library in addition to SONARNL. The C++ API remains almost entirely compatible with previous versions, though some features have been moved into base classes. Parameters for all localization methods are now stored in separate sections within one configuration file, arnl.p. sonarnl.p is no longer used. Also, instead of only one laser or sonar localization object allowed, multiple localization task objects can now optionally be handled and merged into one pose. This is done using weighted averages of the estimates from the different localizations. The weights are related to the uncertainty of the estimates. The actual merging of the localization information is done by an ArLocalizationManager object. This object invokes "moveTo()" on the robot after the merge to change its pose. (If you only want to use one localization method, you can only create a localization task object, as before, ArLocalizationManager is not needed in this case.) Java ---- Java 1.6 is now used to build the Java wrapper libraries rather than 1.4. The Java wrapper libraries are now provided in Java packages (rather in the global namespace): these packages are com.mobilerobots.BaseArnl, com.mobilerobots.Arnl, com.mobilerobots.SonArnl and com.mobilerobots.Mogs You will need to modify Java code to import classes from these packages. Visual C++ 2008 --------------- MS Visual C++ 2008 (MSVC 9) is now supported. VC9 libraries and DLLs are included, as are VC9 project files for the example programs. Other Changes and Fixes ----------------------- The guiServer and guiServerSonar example programs have been replaced with arnlServer, sonarnlServer and mogsServer example programs. These examples are provided with the relevant localization packages. ArNetworking now has new support for delaying the processing of an ArConfig update until the robot is idle (e.g. has finished going to a goal). MobileEyes 2.2.4 also now supports this new idle config processing mode, if present in the server. (You can disable idle processing by setting a flag in ArServerBase). Bug fixed in ArPathPlanningTask::getPathFromTo() (double unlock of map) The PlanEveryTime option has been removed from configuration. Final goal approach movement does more checking to determine whether any obstacles may violate the front and side clearance and padding parameters. Changes to make ArPathPlanningTask and ArLocalizationTask work with any range device and any laser, not just SICK lasers and Pioneer sonar. A new parameter has been added, CheckInsideRobotRadius. If true (default), ARNL will now not move the robot if any obstacles are detected within the radius of the robot body, i.e. if the robot could hit the obstacle by rotating. MobileEyes 2.2.4 ================ See more detailed changes list at Download ARIA at Many improvements and bug fixes since 1.1.14, the last general public release, including the following highlights: -- Modified driving so that it repeatedly sends the drive command to the robot: The new ArNetworking server times out if a drive command is not received within some period of time, this keeps it going as long as there is a working network connection with the robot. -- Added various features to better support display on a touchscreen. -- Increased the width of the camera's pan/tilt/zoom numerical fields so that the values are not truncated. -- Added support for the new robot idle processing behavior. When the configuration is changed on a server that supports idle processing, the robot postpones the update until it is no longer busy. (For example, after a robot reaches a goal.) MobileEyes displays a new "update pending" status, along with new informational messages. It also handles configuration and map updates differently in this scenario. The server must support idle config processing mode. -- Many improvements to how MobileEyes works with multiple servers at once. (MobileEyes can connect to multiple robots servers by listing them in the "Robot Server" field of the connection dialog, separated by commas, or by connecting through a proxy "central server". -- Added support for robots that have lateral control (such as Seekur). The joystick behavior has been enhanced, the Drive Robot toolbar contains two new buttons, and new Ctrl key bindings have been added to the map view and robot list. -- Replaced the robot drive buttons (Forward, Reverse, etc.) on the robot toolbar with a single Drive button. Turn on this button to display a new "Drive Robot" palette which contains triangular buttons for each of the directions. If this popup window has keyboard focus, keyboard arrow keys may also be used to drive the robot. -- Also replaced the map pan buttons (Pan Up, Pan Down, etc.) on the map toolbar with a single Pan button. Turn on this button to display a new "Pan Map" palette. -- Added the ability to drive the robot using the Ctrl-arrow keys when the robot list has focus. (This only applies to the multi-robot environment.) -- When MobileEyes is minimized, it now stops making requests for data displayed on the map (resulting in reduced network traffic as well as local CPU use). -- Fixed an intermittent problem that caused the robot icon to disappear from the map when MobileEyes was connected to a central server. -- Fixed a bug that occasionally caused the crash dump file to be written to an incorrect directory. -- Made changes to reduce the number of times a map is downloaded when it has been updated on the central server. -- Additional improvements related to running on dual processor PCs. -- Added support for the new "localization initializing" robot status. The Localization dialog box now prompts the user to wait while localization is in progress. Known Bugs ---------- MobileEyes 2.2.4 has been observed to crash occasionally, but only on dual-processor or dual-core systems. (A work around is to force the affinity of MobileEyes to one processor.) This bug will be fixed in a future version. MobileSim 0.5 ============= See more detailed changes list at Download MobileSim at Various bug fixes and minor features, including support for points in maps (in addition to lines), better map loading, new command line options, and more. See Changes.txt for details. Mapper3 and Mapper3Basic 2.2.5 ============================== See more detailed changes list at Download at: or Various bug fixes and features, including the following: -- Improvements to scan conversion -- Now supports scans from multiple laser devices in .2d scan log files and in map files -- Corrected a bug that occurred when a map file is saved as an image (JPEG file). -- Fixed crash in importing .2d files. -- Corrected an intermittent error in the location of goals when importing .2d files. -- Do not open invalid scan (.2d) files. Valid scan files start with LaserOdometryLog. -- Added support for a new "raw" mode in the scan processing. This mode may be turned on by clicking the Scan Tools, Settings button, selecting the Scan tab, and changing the Processing Mode item to Raw. -- The map file can no longer contain any comments (e.g. text that follows the "#" or ";" characters). These characters may now be used in the map info definitions. -- Corrected an error that caused the "%" character to be followed by a random number when written to a map file. -- Added a new "Step" button to the Scan Tools. Click this button to pause the processing and add a single scan. The current scan number is now displayed in the status bar. These features are both applicable only while scans are being added (i.e. before registration and cleaning). -- Added a new Scan Tools, Settings, Processing preference that allows multiple scan files to be processed in "batch mode". When running in batch mode, each scan file is automatically saved as a map file and closed; processing of the next file occurs without operator intervention (as long as no errors occur). -- When the user creates an unusually small forbidden area or other map object (probably by mistake), a warning is now displayed. -- Added a description attribute to all map objects. The description can be entered in the map item edit window, and it is displayed in the map object's tooltip. (For Aria users, note that the unused ArMapObject fileName attribute has been deprecated.) -- Added the ability to save the current map rotation as the default to be used for map display (in Mapper3 and in MobileEyes). To save the rotation, choose Main Menu, Map, Rotate, Save as Default. New Support Website =================== If you have not visited for a while, you may notice some changes.

I'm using OpenCV for completing this task but have encountered one problem. I can't set the autofocus of this camera off (which, I suppose, should be done through the instance I have of the ArVCC4 class). Not having the autofocus off leads to intrinsic parameters that are not constant. So, the projection matrix I'm getting is not correct and every time I run the calibration, I'm getting different results. I'm writing this message hoping that someone could shed some light on this issue.?Am I pointing in the right direction when I say the problem is with the autofocus???Is there a way of setting this feature off?

Can you run it in a debugger and get a stack trace to find out where in getRawReadingsAsVector() it crashes? Is there anything that seems to make it more likely to happen? Are there any other threads accessing ArSick (other than its own processing thread)? You can use getRawReadings() instead if you want, it omits the step of copying the readings into a std::vector and just returns the std::list that is actually used to store them.

Mount your root partition. For example: #mount /dev/sda1 /mnt Then chroot: # chroot /mnt # su - Then edit "/boot/grub/device.map" (if you've not change type of disk it is not necessary ), and then run # grub-install hd0 May be you should edit /boot/grub/grub.conf, but it's unlikely. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

We get blue images or erroneously recorded images from the frame grabber. We have installed a Debian Etch 4.0 Linux Operating System in a Pioneer 2dx robot. Before, we were using a Red Hat Linux Operating System and the camera worked correctly. We could get images with ACTS and with programs using v4l standard. Power and video cables are connected properly and the bttv drivers are also installed properly. We have changed all possible paremeters to get an image with different programs as ACTS, xawtv and others, but results are not satisfactory.

The ArVCC4 class from ARIA is used to control the camera. This is a subclass of ArPTZ. The ArVCC4 class contains methods (functions) to command pan (left/right) and tilt (up/down) as well as the optical zoom. For example, to pan 45 degrees towards the left, call pan(-45). Then you can wait some time, and later call pan(45) to go the other direction, or you can periodically check the pan position by calling getRealPanTilt() and getPan() until it is close to -45.0. To learn more about using ARIA, read its README.txt file, its API Reference Manual (Aria-Reference.html), and the example programs in the "examples" directory. ??? wrote: > Hello.~ > > > > First of all, as u feel, I'm not good at English. so really sorry about > this. > > > > I 'm using the pioneer 3-dx and vcc4camara in my school. > > > > I wanna this camara move to left and than right. > > > > I wander I could get the source about this. > > > > It should move first It move to left side 45 degrees after that right > side 45 degrees and than left side again.. > > > > I'm tring but it's to hard to make this source to me.. > > > > so..

When we type the command "dmesg", the result that we obtain on bttv drivers is: bttv: driver version 0.9.16 loaded bttv: using 8 buffers with 2080k (520 pages) each for capture bttv: Host bridge needs ETBF enabled. bttv: Bt8xx card found (0). bttv0: Bt848 (rev 18) at 0000:00:09.0, irq: 11, latency: 64, mmio: 0x82000000 bttv0: using: *** UNKNOWN/GENERIC *** [card=0,autodetected] bttv0: enabling ETBF (430FX/VP3 compatibilty) bttv0: gpio: en=00000000, out=00000000 in=00ffe3ff [init] bttv0: using tuner=-1 bttv0: i2c: checking for MSP34xx @ 0x80... not found bttv0: i2c: checking for TDA9875 @ 0xb0... not found bttv0: i2c: checking for TDA7432 @ 0x8a... not found bttv0: i2c: checking for TDA9887 @ 0x86... not found bttv0: registered device video0 bttv0: registered device vbi0 It seems that a card is found, therefore bttv driver must be installed properly. About linux kernel modules, when we type the command "lsmod", the result that we obtain is: Module Size Used by binfmt_misc 10984 1 ipv6 226272 10 ppdev 8676 0 parport_pc 32132 1 lp 11012 0 parport 33256 3 ppdev,parport_pc,lp orinoco_cs 15844 1 orinoco 36084 1 orinoco_cs hermes 7008 2 orinoco_cs,orinoco dm_snapshot 15552 0 dm_mirror 19152 0 dm_mod 50200 2 dm_snapshot,dm_mirror pcmcia 34140 1 orinoco_cs i82365 19216 4 rsrc_nonstatic 11840 1 i82365 pcmcia_core 36852 4 orinoco_cs,pcmcia,i82365,rsrc_nonstatic loop 15048 0 snd_cs4281 20000 1 gameport 14632 2 snd_cs4281 snd_seq_dummy 3844 0 snd_seq_oss 28768 0 snd_seq_midi 8192 0 snd_seq_midi_event 7008 2 snd_seq_oss,snd_seq_midi snd_seq 45680 6 snd_seq_dummy,snd_seq_oss,snd_seq_midi,snd_seq_midi_event snd_rawmidi 22560 2 snd_cs4281,snd_seq_midi snd_ac97_codec 83104 1 snd_cs4281 snd_ac97_bus 2400 1 snd_ac97_codec snd_pcm_oss 38368 0 snd_mixer_oss 15200 1 snd_pcm_oss evdev 9088 0 snd_pcm 68676 3 snd_cs4281,snd_ac97_codec,snd_pcm_oss snd_page_alloc 10184 1 snd_pcm snd_opl3_lib 9920 1 snd_cs4281 psmouse 35016 0 snd_seq_device 7820 6 snd_seq_dummy,snd_seq_oss,snd_seq_midi,snd_seq,snd_rawmidi,snd_opl3_lib bttv 159732 0 serio_raw 6660 0 video_buf 23012 1 bttv firmware_class 9600 2 pcmcia,bttv snd_timer 20996 3 snd_seq,snd_pcm,snd_opl3_lib snd_hwdep 8836 1 snd_opl3_lib snd 47012 14 snd_cs4281,snd_seq_oss,snd_seq,snd_rawmidi,snd_ac97_codec,snd_pcm_oss,snd_mixer_oss,snd_pcm,snd_opl3_lib,snd_seq_device,snd_timer,snd_hwdep ir_common 27780 1 bttv soundcore 9248 1 snd compat_ioctl32 1472 1 bttv i2c_algo_bit 8424 1 bttv pcspkr 3072 0 i2c_piix4 8268 0 btcx_risc 4776 1 bttv tveeprom 13840 1 bttv videodev 21120 1 bttv v4l1_compat 12036 1 videodev i2c_core 19680 4 bttv,i2c_algo_bit,i2c_piix4,tveeprom v4l2_common 20448 2 bttv,videodev shpchp 33024 0 pci_hotplug 28704 1 shpchp intel_agp 22204 1 agpgart 29896 1 intel_agp ext3 119336 2 jbd 52456 1 ext3 mbcache 8356 1 ext3 ide_disk 14848 4 generic 4868 0 [permanent] uhci_hcd 21164 0 e100 32232 0 mii 5344 1 e100 usbcore 112644 2 uhci_hcd piix 9444 0 [permanent] ide_core 110504 3 ide_disk,generic,piix processor 28840 0 Could you tell us if you find something wrong in theses outputs?
