Re: [Playerstage-developers] Sonar sensor Count

[Bladepopper <bla...@gm...>]

Hi Paul,

My robot is running on P3DX firmware. Its not the ordinary robots you
encountered since its self-developped (not by me though). But i've contacted
the developers before and they said its running P3DX firmware and can be
connected through the p2os driver. I've not sure if this information is
helpful but they also mentioned since my robot is developed under Windows
system, connecting the robot in Linux system via Player maybe not provide
100% support. But its pretty weird only half the sonars work right? I'm just
guessing but there must be some kind of switch to actiavte all sonars even
if my robot does not support the p2os driver 100%?

My configuration file is:

driver
(
     name "p2os"
     provides ["odometry:::position2d:0"
                  " sonar:0"
                  "aio:0"
                  "dio:0"
                  ]
     port "/dev/ttyUSB0"
)


By the way, i've been wanting to ask, my robot has IR sensors all over him,
but i have no idea how to activate it. I suspect the aio and dio can be used
to actiavte it since i've read that the aio and dio is designed for
additional sensors but all i did was enable the proxy in my config file, i
don't know how to use it. 


Thanks a bunch!
