Programming firebird 5 using microsoft robotics studio 2008
1. Programming Firebird 5 using Microsoft Robotics Studio 2008 -weekly seminar presentation by AnirbanBasumallik, M.Tech 2, ERTS Lab, IIT Bombay. 2nd September, 2010.
2. Demonstration Burn the suitable program on the Firebird 5 that keeps reading the sensor values on the bot and communicates that over Xbee/serial port to the PC and keeps reading the motor values from Xbee/serial port (as received from the PC) and sets the motor accordingly Run the suitable service on MSRDS 2008
3. Demonstration (contd…) The monitoring system on the web browser Console output Service state Two services are orchestrating The ABMFirebird5 service; and The ABMWhiteLineFollowerFB5 service
4. How it is working MSRDS Runtime Partnership Firebird 5 ABMFirebird5 Service ABMWhiteLineFollowerFB5 Service
7. Components MSRDS 2008 has the .NET framework at the base level CCR layer exists over that No need of explicitly creating threads, using semaphores or need to synchronize It is operative in a way such that the whole system is responsive*, scalable* and efficient in dealing with failure Takes care of load balancing*, scheduling* and coordinating DSS layer exists over that Loosely coupled services interact through each other via partnership * Claims by Microsoft, not verified by me
8. Other features: VPL VPL – Visual Programming Language Gives a GUI (user friendliness) angle to programming It is a data flow based programming model A VPL Program [3]
9. Others: Simulation VSE – Visual Simulation Environment Hardware is expensive, difficult to debug, and hard for a team to work concurrently Simulation has a low barrier to entry, easy to prototype and test out new ideas Useful for education, good learning and debugging tool Architecture [2] Simulation and services [2]
