Just have fun here! Write code and play with robots!

1. Buy a Raspberry Pi and microSD card.

2. Install an Operating System on microSD card.

   • Raspbian
   • Ubuntu Mate

3. Get a mouse, keyboard, monitor ready. Power on Pi!

4. Connect to wireless network or wired network.

5. Install prerequisite packages.

   • Open a terminal. If you are not familiar with LINUX environment, check this.
   • Type in: sudo apt-get update
   • Type in: sudo apt-get gcc make git

6. Clone the package

   • In the terminal, type in: git clone git@github.com:xipengwang/X.git robotX

7. Compile the code

   • In the terminal, type in: cd robotX && make
     • If you compile the code on a raspberry pi, you should change Build.common file. Change rm-linux-gnueabi-gcc to gcc, arm-linux-gnueabi-ar to ar.
     • If you compile the code on a laptop running linux, you can install cross-compiler. Then send binary files to the Pi. Here are the instructions.

8. Run examples

   • In the terminal, type in: cd bin
   • In the terminal, type in: sudo ./print-test

• Write a simple executable program
• Write a simple library program
• Link other library such as OPENCV
• GPIO
• PWM
• I2C
• SPI
• UART
• BMP180(Temperature sensor)
• CC2541(Bluetooth Low Energy sensor) <----> IOS App for RobotX <--->General BLE IOS app
• MFRC522(RFCard reader)

• BCM2835 datasheet
• BCM2835 datasheet errata
• Raspberry Pi Pin Despriptions
• common_library
• rpi_library
• mfrc522_library
• Structures, variables, functions
