CS325  Lab 6 - Introduction to the iRobot Create

Objectives:

• Be able to control the movement of Otto

1. The instructions for operating Otto are given here.  You will want to boot Otto and run the Player server with the standard roomba driver. 
    
2. Complete and test the lab6 code so that you have functions which turn and move the robot a specified amount  (you may determine the units).  You will need to use the SetSpeed method of the Position2dProxy class to move the robot. (class description)  In order to test the amount of movement that has been done you will need to use the GetYaw, GetXPos, and GetYPos methods.  Before getting those values, each time you will need to do a blocking read:
           robot.Read();
    
3. To compile your code:
   g++ -o lab6 `pkg-config --cflags playerc++` lab6.cc `pkg-config --libs playerc++`
   
   or you may edit and use the shell script build to make your life much easier.
   
   To run your code:
   ./lab6
      
   Thoroughly test your functions.  If you run into trouble, simply pick up the robot, which will terminate execution.  You will then need to restart the player server.
    
4. Demo your program for me and email your code to jill.zimmerman@goucher.edu
