MRC/Using Pico

To start Pico please follow the following steps:

1. Power on Pico, the on-off switch is on the bottom, on the opposite site of the emergency button (it should be pushed forward).
2. Boot up the laptop, password is pico123
3. Open a terminal and type

   ssh pico

   to login on Pico's computer, the password is again pico123
4. In the same terminal type

   pstart

   to start all the nodes on Pico (controllers and drivers)
5. N.B. leave this terminal open

Pico is now up and running. To run your own software follow these steps:

1. Open a new terminal and login to Pico again:

   ssh pico

   with password pico123.
2. Go to your group's folder:

   cd ~/ros/groovy/emc/groups/emc<group number>

3. Update your folder:

   svn up

   Use your own username and password, if the wrong username is already filled in, just hit enter to clear it.
4. The rest works the same as on your own pc.

When you want to use RVIZ or your own visualization, you can run it on the laptop:

2. Type

   pico-core

   to listen to the ros-master on Pico (only in the current terminal).
3. Open RVIZ by typing

   rosrun rviz rviz

4. Please do not save any settings when closing RVIZ
