Next version 'Nixie' is coming soon !

Help us to get ready with MyRobotLab version Nixie: try it !

Old and New side by side

Here is some general crazyness ... 

This is using 2 completely different GUI systems at the same time.   Since MRL IS NOT THE GUI !  It works quite well :)

2 MRL Instances on 2 different machines have combined and give access to all of the services running on both machines.  2 Views of distributed computing !

The layout is as follows:

Laptop - running runtime (borg)

Beginner trying to download myrobotlab for Mac OSX Snow Leopard [SOLVED]

Hi Everyone,

I have just started working on building an inMoov robot and would like to download myrobotlab for the finger starter so I can learn more about how to configure the servos, connect arduino etc. I couldn't find any resources that explain how to download myrobotlab on a Mac. Due to this I also tried it on a pc with Windows 8 but this also didn't work due to an error saying it was unable to find javaw, even though I installed java a minute before. Is it available on mac?

Any help would be greatly appreciated as I'm determined to make my first robot!

Problems getting MRL Arduino to see my Arduino on OS X [SOLVED!]

Last night I tried to get MRL to connect to my Arduino so I could play with the InMoov starter finger kit and I've run into a few problems.  First is when I click on the Tools menu and then Boards, the sub menu where I'd select Uno never shows up.  When I mouse down to Serial Device I do get a sub menu but MRL (or the embedded Arduino IDE) never finds my Uno.  I am able to see the Uno on /dev/tty.usbmodem641 using a standalone Arduino IDE installation and I was able to install the MRLComm.ino to the Uno through the external IDE.  When I follow the tutorial for th

Example code (from branch develop):
#file : TopCodes.py (github)
from org.myrobotlab.opencv import OpenCVData
from org.myrobotlab.service import OpenCV
 
opencv = Runtime.create("opencv","OpenCV")
topcodes = runtime.start("topcodes","TopCodes")
opencv.startService()
opencv.addFilter("PyramidDown1", "PyramidDown")
 
def input(data) :
 simage = opencv.getDisplay()
 codes = topcodes.scan(simage.getImage())
 limit = codes.size()
 for x in range(limit) :
    code = codes.get(x)
    print 'code number' , x ,'=', code.getCode()
# other information could be provided
    #print 'diameter' , x , 'is' , code.getDiameter()
    #print 'x of center' , x , 'is' , code.getCenterX()
    #print 'y of center' , x , 'is' , code.getCenterY()
    #print 'rotation' , x , 'is' , code.getOrientation() , 'radians'
opencv.addListener("publishOpenCVData", python.name, "input");
opencv.setCameraIndex(0)
opencv.capture()
Example configuration (from branch develop):
#file : TopCodes.py (github)
!!org.myrobotlab.service.config.ServiceConfig
listeners: null
peers: null
type: TopCodes

TopCodes service allows to recognize a special code. You can print these codes using the attached topcodes.pdf.

The service gives back the following information :

  • Number of the code recognized
  • Coordinates of the center of the code (x,y)
  • Diameter of the code (which can be used to find distance)
  • Angular rotation of the code

​THERE ARE 99 DIFFERENT CODES.

CAMERA SHOULD BE AS PERPENDICULAR AS POSSIBLE TO THE CODE, IN ORDER TO WORK WELL.

TopCodes test

UPDATE 06/28/2013

Test with "real codes" printed...supa worky :D

Here is a pic....

Update - Test with 4 simbols :D

WORKYYYYY :D

We are One !

This is our two instances joined together.  One is mine which has grey tabs - gui, runtime.  And the other tabs are from your system. python, raspi, remote.  I can now start any service on your system from my system - including executing scripts.  The "bad news" is OpenCV is not behaving nice (as usual) .. so no video at the moment ..

A Rare Sight Indeed !


Thanks Gael !

I'm getting all emotional ... because, how often does this happen ?   :D D D
