Pit Inventory and Tethering System
PITS is a Java-based utility used to manage robot logs using FTP.
Currently only a graphical interface is available.
- IP Address: IP address of the robot. For Red Alert's 2024 season, this address is 10.17.41.2.
- Directory: The folder in which the logs are stored on the robot. This is usually
/home/lvuser/logs. For Red Alert's 2024 season, this is/media/sda1/logs. - Download: Connect to the robot using the provided settings and retrieve log files.
- Status section: View current download progress.
You are free to modify this application as you see fit for your own team, for example to change the default configuration options.
Use the included Gradle executable to build this program. You can also download release jar files from the Releases section of this repository.
- (macOS) "PITS.jar" cannot be opened because it is from an unidentified developer.
- On macOS systems, programs which are not notarized by an authorized developer will not run by default. You can get around this by either right-clicking the jar file in Finder and selecting Open, or by going to System Settings, Privacy & Security, and allowing the app to run.
- Cannot connect to robot
- Ensure the robot is on, connected to Wi-Fi/Ethernet/USB, and the IP address is correct.
- Ensure that FTP is enabled on the robot.
- "Robot refused connection".
- Ensure that FTP is configured for anonymous login on the robot.
- Run PITS from a command prompt window and take a look at the error code that is given.
- FTP connects, but finds no logs.
- Ensure the log directory is correct.
- (Windows) Ensure that Java is allowed through your firewall.
- "Could not create the download folder".
- Ensure Java has write permissions in the directory it is run from.
- Ensure you have permissions to delete directories if you are trying to overwrite an existing folder.
