After some serious fussing, I've determined that sometime in the last n years the hard drive died. I've got a new hard drive, but I'm not sure what to install OS-wise. Can anyone else tell me what you've used Pyro with on a Pioneer? In particular, what version of the OS do you have installed? I'm thinking of trying Fedora, but do I need an ancient version to be compatible with Pyro?

It has been years since we turned ours on. However, I do know that some people recently have used their Pioneers with the latest Pyro (out of SVN; [1] to browse, [2] to download) and I believe that it worked fine. (Player has changed much over the years, but I think we have a version on the server that works with Pyro). -Doug [1] - http://svn.cs.brynmawr.edu/viewvc/pyrobot/trunk/ [2] - http://svn.cs.brynmawr.edu/pyrobot/trunk/ > Thanks, > > - Jennie > > -- > Jennifer Kay > Associate Professor > Rowan University email: kay@elvis.rowan.edu > Computer Science Department voice: 856-256-4593 > 201 Mullica Hill Road fax: 856-256-4741 > Glassboro, NJ 08028 web: http://www.rowan.edu/~kay/ > > _______________________________________________ > Pyro-users mailing list > Pyro-users@pyrorobotics.org > http://emergent.brynmawr.edu/mailman/listinfo/pyro-users > From nswoboda at clip.dia.fi.upm.es Wed Nov 10 11:31:28 2010 From: nswoboda at clip.dia.fi.upm.es (Nik) Date: Wed Nov 10 10:51:18 2010 Subject: [Pyro-users] Pyro with a Pioneer In-Reply-To: <41379.76.98.34.255.1289265389.squirrel@cs.brynmawr.edu> References: <4CD4DA08.2050207@elvis.rowan.edu> <41379.76.98.34.255.1289265389.squirrel@cs.brynmawr.edu> Message-ID: <20101110163128.GB8696@clip.dia.fi.upm.es> On Mon, Nov 08, 2010 at 08:16:29PM -0500, Douglas S.

(Player has changed much over the > years, but I think we have a version on the server that works with Pyro). Hello, We don't have Pioneers, but we do have Erratics (which are in many ways similar). We have Ubuntu (10.04) installed on them along with pyro (you can use alien to make a deb from the rpm on the web) and player from the Ubuntu repositories (the package name is robot-player). (Note that alien doesn't get the dependencies so you will have to install a couple of other packages from the Ubuntu repositories: python-imaging-tk, python-numeric, and python-numpy.) The only problems are that the compiled version of player included in the repository doesn't include many of the modules (like the one for a firewire camera) and you need to make a symbolic link from player to robot-player in /usr/bin for pyro to be able to find it.

Should I have a pyro executable somewhere? Looking at configWin.py, I see that makes a bin\pyrobot.pyw. I guess I'd try to run that. -Doug > Thanks, > > -- Jennie > > -- > Jennifer Kay > Associate Professor > Rowan University email:kay@elvis.rowan.edu > Computer Science Department voice: 856-256-4593 > 201 Mullica Hill Road fax: 856-256-4741 > Glassboro, NJ 08028 web:http://www.rowan.edu/~kay/ > > > > _______________________________________________ > Pyro-users mailing list > Pyro-users@pyrorobotics.org > http://emergent.brynmawr.edu/mailman/listinfo/pyro-users -- Douglas S.
