Library for the Kilogrid virtualization environment for the Kilobot robotic platform.The API provides all the function required to perform experiments with the Kilogrid virtualization environment and the Kilobot robots.

The API includes:

• main programs for each devices (dispatcher, modules, kilobots)
• initialization functions for each devices which initialize hardware and firmware
• bi-directionnal communication function via:
  • infrared between module and kilobot
  • CAN interface between all the modules and the dispatcher
  • USB between the dispatcher and the KiloGUI
  • serial for debugging specific devices
• device-specific sensor and actuator control (LEDs, IR, Motor, etc...)
• library of behavior for the kilobot for example position tracking
• experiment templates

The API is divided in subfolder per device with a common folder for shared functions. See file list on the left side for list of all documented source.

This is the high-level documented API destined for experimenter providing description and example of functions to experiment swarm robotics.
It does not includes documentation of low-level components. If information is missing in this documentation we recommand to search in the documented source of the project, or raise an issue on the github page of the project.
