Pioneer 2 / PeopleBot Robotics User Manual


 
Quick Start
RESET button, you must restart the connection. Turning the Main Power switch off and
then back ON or pressing the RESET button puts the robot servers back to their wait state,
ready to accept client connections again. If the Saphira client application is still active,
simply pull down the Connect menu and choose the Disconnect option. Otherwise,
restart the application and reconnect the Saphira client with the P2OS servers.
The Saphira-P2OS connection is SERIAL only.
You may not connect a Saphira or other client software running on an
offboard computer with the P2OS controller over a TCP/IP link.
Rather, you need the special IPTHRU program running on an onboard
computer and which translates IP packets into P2OS serial packets to
support a TCP/IP-based remote client.
This is not the same as EXPORTING the onboard PC controls, in which
Saphira or other client software connects via a serial link with the P2OS
servers locally, but the computer is otherwise operated from a remote
terminal.
