Project2: Triangulation with sbRIO robots

• Compute Angle on a Single Robot
  • View the LabVIEW for Robotics page for reference information about the sbRIO robots.
  • Open DMA Buffered Acquisition-2Channels (HOST).vi and use Save As, save it to "Compute Angle (Robot).vi" and start editing this.
  • Compute angle of arrival on Robot platform using your FindCCPeak.vi and ComputeAngle.vi
  • Click the Run button on Compute Angle (Robot).vi. This will download your code to the robot specified in the project.
• Source Location using 2 Robots
  • Right-Click on Starter Kit sbRIO and set the IP to the IP labeled on your robot.
  • Open Starter Kit sbRIO -> MicSourceLocator (Robot).vi and My Computer-> MicSourceLocator (PC with Robots).vi
  • Run these 2 VIs simultaneously and study the block diagrams to make sure you understand how the communication is working
  • Merge Compute Angle (robot).vi and MicSourceLocator (Robot).vi and view the results on the front panel of MicSourceLocator (PC with Robots).
  • Add a 2nd robot to your project and run MicSourceLocator (Robot).vi on both robots simultaneously.
  • Modify MicSourceLocator (PC with Robots) to compute the source location and plot the web.
• Move robots
• Automated controller algorithm to optimize robot positions
• Thin client communication to Robot
