Dawn Robotics Forum

Hi Alan
Regarding the email you sent me on Sunday, helping me to view the code more closely.
I have copied the two files onto the Rpi, however, to run the interface_test.py do I have to 'crash' stop the program i.e. crtl alt F2 ? When the interface_test.py is run after a such a stop it just gets caught in loop

Hi Mike,

Welcome to the forum. With regards to interface_test.py, I don't think that ctrl alt F2 should be needed anywhere.

Just so that we're on the same page, I'm assuming that you're starting up your robot as normal, and that the web interface works?

With that being the case you should be able to log into your Pi, either by attaching a keyboard and monitor, or by using SSH and then run interface_test.py from the command line. This should cause the motors and pan/tilt neck to move, and this will continue until you press ctrl+c to exit.

How does this compare to your experience? If interface_test.py isn't doing anything for you, can you send me a copy of what it prints to the command line?

Regards

Alan

Hi Alan
That worked fine, I used ssh and puTTy - thanks.
I'm now running through the code you referenced to try to work out what does what, and breaking out in the odd cold sweat wondering what the hell I've got myself into I think the kids will know more than me.
You mentioned that you are planning to release a new version this week which come with more documentation, I'm looking forward to that
Cheers
Mike
