* Robotont
* Mouse
* Empty memory stick (at least 8Gb)
* Keyboard
* Internet connection (WiFi or cable)
- Create ubuntu installation memory stick and plug it into the computer on the robot
- Power on the computer and enter the boot menu (for Intel NUC press F10 on the keyoard)
- In the appeared menu select the boot device: USB
- Install ubuntu:
- Connect to the internet over WIFI or LAN
- Setup your username as peko. If you want to use a different one also follow the additional step after step 6
- Create a password and don't forget it
- Follow installation steps
- Download installation repository on the robot. For that open terminal with Ctrl+Alt+T and paste there line by line:
sudo apt install git
git clone https://github.com/robotont/robotont-setup
- Adjust the file hosts in the ansible folder of the repository. Repository is the robotont-setup folder you've downloaded with a command. Edit the second line and enter the password of the access point you would like to have wifi_pass= your_password. The robot will become a WiFi access point after configuration is finished with the password specified by you.
- Additional step for custom username(if you are using peko skip it). Modify the first line in hosts file ansible_user=peko and replace peko with your username
- Run the following command to install ansible:
sudo apt install ansible
- Change the terminal working directory to the one containing the configuration files:
cd robotont-setup/ansible
- Run ansible and enter user password in the BECOME field when it appears:
ansible-playbook robots-local.yaml -K
- If there is an error in the last reboot step then reboot manually and your robot is ready.
- If there is an error at some point repeat step 9
- If the computer is frozen then reboot the computer and then open the terminal with Ctrl+Alt+T repeat steps 8-9 but first
- If there's an error on the Apply connection step run:
nmcli connection up netplan-wlp58s0-robotont-1
scp -r ~/robotont-setup/partitioning/* ubuntu@<ip addr>:.
It prompts for disk name. If something fails unplug target memory stick and plug back again.
sudo ./pa
sudo ./copying
ansible-playbook laptops.yaml -K
sudo apt install -y openssh-server
ssh-keygen -t ed25519 -f ~/.ssh/robotont_ed25519
ssh-copy-id -i ~/.ssh/robotont_ed25519 peko@[ip_address]
ansible-playbook robots.yaml -K
Scripts and other stuff that does not belong to the catkin workspace
Before updating we need to connect a LAN cable to the robot. Open a terminal and ssh into robot. Use the command in form of
ssh <USERNAME>@<ROBOT_IP_ADDRESS>
For example:
ssh clearbot@192.168.200.1
Obtain an IP address for the LAN interface:
sudo dhclient -v
Check for connection:
ping google.com
To update all ubuntu packages run:
sudo apt update
sudo apt upgrade -y
Make a backup of the existing workspace:
mv ~/catkin_ws ~/backup_ws
Create a new workspace
mkdir -p catkin_ws/src
cd catkin_ws
catkin build
Download and build all the latest robotont ROS packages for the robot.
cd ~/catkin_ws
wstool init src https://raw.githubusercontent.com/robotont/robotont-setup/melodic-devel/ansible/resources/.rosinstall
catkin build
