Carleton University - School of Computer Science Undergraduate Honours Project Winter 2010 Robot Bluetooth Communicator Andrew Whalen
ABSTRACT In previous years, it was very inconvenient to attempt to debug code on the PropBot in the robotics course, COMP 4807. In order to debug the code, the PropBot would need to be connected to the computer through USB and would use this tethered connection to communicate with the debugging software. My solution to this was to allow for debugging to be done through wireless using the bluetooth dongle on the PropBot and the bluetooth adaptor in the computer. Since the solution required using bluetooth, it needed to also replace the current program which handles bluetooth on the PropBots, RCMS, and all of it's features regarding bluetooth communication. This lead to the Robot Bluetooth Communicator (RBC) program which includes all the data communication and planner support the RCMS has but extends it farther with debugging capabilities. |
