This directory has a bunch of stuff for Java Lego robotics.
Julie's interested in looking at that, so I've downloaded
and installed some of the related software. - Jim on Jan 23.
This page has links to various parts of the java stuff on cs.
Java
I installed Sun's java jdk 1.4 in /usr/local/jdk1.5_0_06
and their netbeans IDE in /usr/local/netbeans-4.1.
Executables have been linked to /usr/local/bin, so they
should work by default from your command shell.
$ ssh -X username@cs.marlboro.edu
passwd: ***
username@cs$ netbeans &
or
username@cs$ java hello.java
LeJOS
Lego Java Operating System is a set of Java Classes to do robotics
for the Lego Mindstorms RX bricks. (We have some upstairs in Sci217.)
The executables (which compile *.java and download to the brick,
if we had an infrared dohickey attached to cs, which there isn't)
are in lejos/. :)
But having it here does let us run the simulator ... so read on.
Intellego
An undergrad named Graham Ritchie wrote a simulator for the Lego Robots
several years ago. Very cool.
It's all installed and ready to go on cs.
$ ssh -X you@cs.marlboro.edu
passwd: ***
you@cs$ export BASE=/var/www/cs/htdocs/courses/spring2006/programming_workshop
you@cs$ cd $BASE/lejos/Intellego
you@cs$ ./Intellego.sh &
Then with the menus:
tools / simulator
controls / pick world ... LightWorld
controls / add robot ... HandCodedLightSeeker ... OK
controls / start simulation
Some links to the code that defines the world and the robot :
Are we having fun yet?
