Robot setup

Install Lubuntu

Installation of Lubuntu is straightforward. Set it to auto log in and have the default user be qbo.

Set up ros

Install ROS via the instructions. Set up a catkin workspace under ~/cued-masters/. You should now have ~/cued-masters/devel/setup.bash and friends.

Set up Q.bo driver

Install the SigProc version of qbo_arduqbo and the OpenQbo version of qbo_cereal_port via rosmake:

$ cd ~/cued-masters/src
$ git clone https://github.com/OpenQbo/qbo_cereal_port.git
$ git clone https://github.com/sigproc/qbo_arduqbo.git
$ rosmake qbo_cereal_port
$ rosmake qbo_arduqbo

Add the qbo user to the dialout group so that it can access the serial port:

$ sudo usermod -a -G dialout qbo

Add the qbo user to the video group so that it can access the webcams (eyes):

$ sudo usermod -a -G video qbo
