You'll probably have to continue to use a computer with a 'proper' serial port for ARCOS.

From andrj05 at student.sdu.dk Mon Sep 7 14:24:38 2009 From: andrj05 at student.sdu.dk (Andreas Jensen) Date: Mon, 7 Sep 2009 20:24:38 +0200 Subject: [Pioneer-users] Seekur low-level encoder data Message-ID: <21f4ff780909071124t18848e5cm2a1eebf16177be63@mail.gmail.com> Dear List. I'm doing a research project at my university involving the development of an egomotion estimation framework using several sensors. For en practical part of the work I'm using our Seekur robot. In connection with this I have a question about the encoder information available. I have studied the Aria framework and especially the processMotorPacket function in the ArRobot class. As far as I can see there are only three encoder values available (x, y and th) which then becomes accessible from the getRawEncoderPose function. My question is how these values are generated physically and on which of the Seekur's wheels the encoders are placed? Are they generated from a combination of encoder data from all four wheels or are there only three physical encoders? If some processing is done in ARCOS in order to generate these three encoder values, is it possible to know how this works? Thanks in advance.

I have a Pioneer 3-AT and SICK LMS200 LRF. We've upgraded the OS to Debian 4.1 Etch, if I remember correctly. I'm simply trying to get the Aria demo to fire up the LRF, however a few moments after switching to the green light I am given the following message: ArModeLaser is connecting to the laser. ArSick: waiting for laser to power on. ArSickPacketReceiver::receivePacket: wrong address (0x0 instead of 0x80) ArSick: Failed to connect to laser, no poweron received. Laser mode failed to connect to the laser. Switch out of this mode and back to try reconnecting. I've checked the IRQ settings and they seem to be fine, so I'm a little stuck at what to try next! Any thoughts?

(ARIA will be able to read from it using ArJoyHandler etc., assuming it is correctly recognized by the operating system on the notebook computer.) The robot joystick (yellow color, manufactured by us) can only be used with the robot.
