- Used nb-ros to start daemon run the chess_demo/chess program. Initialization was stopped after moving the arm up (to prevent a collison). Moving the chess_demo to tunis.
- Started chess_demo/chess on tunis, but got a segmentation fault on a missing file. Copied the *.rtx file to /opt/prac/robotics/data.
- There was also an umi.rtx expected in ~/src/robotica/data/, so also created this directory.
- Without root permission I received an error message that downloadlib had problems connecting to socket: Permission denied. Running the program with sudo ./chess solved this. Robot starts playing, but has problems to pull the band to the bottom (seen before in June 19 and June 9, 2017 ).

- Just supported PowerUp 4.0.
-
- Tried to connect to UMI-RTX again, following the instruction from June 8, 2017. Made the connection from nb-dual (running Windows). Saw that Windows installed a serial controller, but under Ubuntu dmesg | tail I only see [ 0.012020] Microsoft 4.4.0-18362.1-Microsoft 4.4.35.
- Installed tunis. The long serial controller is pl2303. Recieved the correct messages, except that the converter was now attached to ttyUSB0. Yet, I see pl2303 converter attached to ttyUSB0 when I ask dmesg | grep tty.
- The Google-drive directory with the software of ZSB was removed (to gain some space, a few weeks ago). First downloaded it on my F-drive of my desktop computer.
- Copied both the directories assistance and robotics to ~/onderwijs/ZSB.
- Made in assistance/umidrivers both rtxd and rtxsh executable. Made the rtxipc directories with sudo mkdir -p /opt/prac/robotics/rtxipc/logs (and for locks, ports, robot). Started sudo ./rtxd /dev/ttyUSB0:
2019-10-05 16:10:30 (RTXD) Restarting, listening to port 36536 on bas-optiplex-780.
- Copied the name_file to /opt/prac/robotics/rtxipc/robot with command sudo cp ~/onderwijs/ZSB/robotics/rtxipc/robot/name_file .. Added the user root to the name_file.
- Could start sudo ./rtxsh, and start moving the robot with command arm, followed by soak init_soak (after putting the green button on the UMI-RTX on).
- Made gnuchess executbale and copied assistance/robotics/src/game/Linux/gnuchess to /opt/prac/robotics/rtxipc/bin. Copied robotics/data/gnuchess.book to /opt/prac/robotics/rtxipc/data. Tried the program chess in assistance/umi-drivers/chess_demo/Linux, but looks at old places for the data. In 2017 I used gnuchess from the directory repository, but that is not in the assistance directory.

- Checked the two Raspberry Pi in the lab. The v3 (Model B) boots, the v2 (model B+) not, but that can be due to a corrupt boot-disk (yet it doesn't but up from the v3-stick).
- The Robotics Edu kit is described at Cam Jam, at github the 10 available worksheets can be found.
March 31, 2019
- I received two Karotz from Frans Groen. The karotz.com servers don't exist anymore.
- Found Free Rabbits website and github page to run python scripts, I only have to find out how to set the IP addres fo the Karotz.
- There is a tutorial how to move the ears, but that seems to depend on the Free Rabbits OS. Requires a flash.
- More information on rooting a Karotz can be found in links page.
