  31         <p>Jeg kjøpte nettopp to
  32 <a href="http://www.spykee-robot.com/">Spykee</a>-roboter, for test og
  33 leking.  Kjøpte to da det var så billige, og gir meg mulighet til å
  34 eksperimentere uten å være veldig redd for å ødelegge alt ved å bytte
  35 ut firmware og slikt.  Oppdaget at lekebutikken på Bryn senter hadde
  36 en liten stabel på lager som de ikke hadde klart å selge ut etter
  37 fjorårets juleinnkjøp, og var villig til å selge for en femtedel av
  38 vanlig pris.  Jeg, Ronny og Jarle har skaffet oss restbeholdningen, og
  39 det blir morsomt å se hva vi får ut av dette.</p>
  40
  41 <p>Roboten har belter styrt av to motorer, kamera, høytaler, mikrofon
  42 og wifi-tilkobling.  Det hele styrt av en GPL-lisensiert databoks som
  43 jeg mistenker kjører linux.  Firmware-kildekoden ble visst publisert i
  44 mai.  Eneste utfordringen er at kontroller-programvaren kun finnes til
  45 Windows, men det må en kunne jobbe seg rundt når vi har kildekoden til
  46 firmwaren. :)</p>

  72       <div class="body">
  73         <p>I dag fikk jeg endelig tittet litt på mine nyinnkjøpte roboter, og
  74 har brukt noen timer til å google etter interessante referanser og
  75 aktuell kildekode for bruk på Linux.  Det mest lovende så langt er
  76 <a href="http://ispykee.toyz.org/">ispykee</a>, som har en
  77 BSD-lisensiert linux-daemon som står som mellomledd mellom roboter på
  78 lokalnettet og en sentral tjeneste der en iPhone kan koble seg opp for
  79 å fjernstyre roboten.  Linux-daemonen implementerer deler av
  80 protokollen som roboten forstår.  Etter å ha knotet litt med å oppnå
  81 kontakt med roboten (den oppretter et eget ad-hoc wifi-nett, så jeg
  82 måtte gå av mitt vanlige nett for å få kontakt), og kommet frem til at
  83 den lytter på IP-port 9000 og 9001, gikk jeg i gang med å finne ut
  84 hvordan jeg kunne snakke med roboten vha. disse portene.  Robotbiten
  85 av protokollen er publisert av produsenten med GPL-lisens, slik at det
  86 er mulig å se hvordan protokollen fungerer.  Det finnes en java-klient
  87 for Android som så ganske snasen ut, men fant ingen kildekode for
  88 denne.  Derimot hadde iphone-løsningen kildekode, så jeg tok
  89 utgangspunkt i den.</p>
  90
  91 <p>Daemonen ville i utgangspunktet forsøke å kontakte den sentrale
  92 tjenesten som iphone-programmet kobler seg til.  Jeg skrev dette om
  93 til i stedet å sette opp en nettverkstjeneste på min lokale maskin,
  94 som jeg kan koble meg opp til med telnet og gi kommandoer til roboten
  95 (act, forward, right, left, etc).  Det involverte i praksis å bytte ut
  96 socket()/connect() med socket()/bind()/listen()/accept() for å gjøre
  97 klienten om til en tjener.</p>
  98
  99 <p>Mens jeg har forsøkt å få roboten til å bevege seg har min samboer
 100 skrudd sammen resten av roboten for å få montert kamera og plastpynten
 101 (armer, plastfiber for lys).  Nå er det hele montert, og roboten er
 102 klar til bruk.  Må få flyttet den over til mitt vanlige trådløsnett
 103 før det blir praktisk, men de bitene av protokollen er ikke
 104 implementert i ispykee-daemonen, så der må jeg enten få tak i en mac
 105 eller en windows-maskin, eller implementere det selv.</p>
 106
 107 <p>Vi var tre som kjøpte slike roboter, og vi har blitt enige om å
 108 samle notater og referanser på <a
 109 href="http://wiki.nuug.no/grupper/robot/">NUUGs wiki</a>.  Ta en titt
 110 der hvis du er nysgjerrig.</p>

 126       </div>
 127       <div class="date">
 128          1st September 2010
 129       </div>
 130       <div class="body">
 131         <p>This evening I made my first Perl GUI application.  The last few
 132 days I have worked on a Perl module for controlling my recently
 133 aquired Spykee robots, and the module is now getting complete enought
 134 that it is possible to use it to control the robot driving at least.
 135 It was now time to figure out how to use it to create some GUI to
 136 allow me to drive the robot around.  I picked PerlQt as I have had
 137 positive experiences with the Qt API before, and spent a few minutes
 138 browsing the web for examples.  Using Qt Designer seemed like a short
 139 cut, so I ended up writing the perl GUI using Qt Designer and
 140 compiling it into a perl program using the puic program from
 141 libqt-perl.  Nothing fancy yet, but it got buttons to connect and
 142 drive around.</p>
 143
 144 <p>The perl module I have written provide a object oriented API for
 145 controlling the robot.  Here is an small example on how to use it:</p>
 146
 147 <p><pre>
 148 use Spykee;
 149 Spykee::discover(sub {$robot{$_[0]} = $_[1]});
 150 my $host = (keys %robot)[0];
 151 my $spykee = Spykee->new();
 152 $spykee->contact($host, "admin", "admin");
 153 $spykee->left();
 154 sleep 2;
 155 $spykee->right();
 156 sleep 2;
 157 $spykee->forward();
 158 sleep 2;
 159 $spykee->back();
 160 sleep 2;
 161 $spykee->stop();
 162 </pre></p>
 163
 164 <p>Thanks to the release of the source of the robot firmware, I could
 165 peek into the implementation at the other end to figure out how to
 166 implement the protocol used by the robot.  I've implemented several of
 167 the commands the robot understand, but is still missing the camera
 168 support to make it possible to control the robot from remote.  First I
 169 want to implement support for uploading new firmware and configuring
 170 the wireless network, to make it possible to bootstrap a Spykee robot
 171 without the producers Windows and MacOSX software (I only have Linux,
 172 so I had to ask a friend to come over to get the robot testing
 173 going. :).</p>
 174
 175 <p>Will release the source to the public soon, but need to figure out
 176 where to make it available first.  I will add a link to
 177 <a href="http://wiki.nuug.no/grupper/robot/">the NUUG wiki</a> for
 178 those that want to check back later to find it.</p>

 199         <p>This summer I got the chance to buy cheap Spykee robots, and since
 200 then I have worked on getting Linux software in place to control them.
 201 The firmware for the robot is available from the producer, and using
 202 that source it was trivial to figure out the protocol specification.
 203 I've started on a perl library to control it, and made some demo
 204 programs using this perl library to allow one to control the
 205 robots.</p>
 206
 207 <p>The library is quite functional already, and capable of controlling
 208 the driving, fetching video, uploading MP3s and play them.  There are
 209 a few less important features too.</p>
 210
 211 <p>Since a few weeks ago, I ran out of time to spend on this project,
 212 but I never got around to releasing the current source.  I decided
 213 today that it was time to do something about it, and uploaded the
 214 source to my Debian package store at people.skolelinux.org.</p>
 215
 216 <p>Because it was simpler for me, I made a Debian package and
 217 published the source and deb.  If you got a spykee robot, grab the
 218 source or binary package:</p>
 219

 224 </ul></p>
 225
 226 <p>If you are interested in helping out with developing this library,
 227 please let me know.</p>
