How to use the real e-pucks with Aseba

In order to use the e-puck with Aseba you need to complete several steps: [tested on Ubuntu 9.10 - March 2010]

Download, compile and patch Dashel (v.127) and Aseba (v. 381)

Fast solution:

• use the script done by Arne (TODO put the path)

Step-by-step solution:

• DASHEL
  • download Dashel v. 127
    • svn -r127 co http://svn.gna.org/svn/dashel/trunk dashel
  • patch it - (TODO this is necessary because... )
    • cd dashel
    • patch -p0 < dashel_with_fpic_r127.patch
  • compile it
    • cmake .
    • make
  • install it in /usr/local (you can avoid this but then you need to modify the CMakeLists.txt in Aseba)
    • sudo make install

• ASEBA
  • download Aseba v. 381
    • svn -r381 co http://svn.gna.org/svn/aseba/trunk aseba
  • patch it - (this is necessary in order to make Aseba communicate with the simulator )
    • cd aseba
    • patch -p0 < aseba_complete_r381.patch
  • compile it
    • cmake .
    • make
  • install it in /usr/local
    • sudo make install
  • test if it works
    • cd studio
    • ./studio
  • a window should appear, you are not able to connect now, it's normal

Now you should have Aseba working under your system ready to communicate with the simulator and the real e-pucks
