Welcome to the "how to guide" for bysense, our four legged walking sensor robot. bysense features a hollow core with its mounting rails, allowing you to add your sensors of any shape and size. Combining the wide range of flexibility on the hardware and software side of bysense to successfully accomplish your mission. To accomplish you mission with your sensor we divide the mission required resources into following phases:
In the first section, you will learn about the conventions, define the sensors for your mission, and select the power and communication sources. After choosing and integrating your sensor, you will be ready to start developing the mission!
Developing your mission with the given sensors is an essential phase. If you plan to move the sensors in a specific direction, you can do this easily using the provided code examples after the initial setup. With the core joint control interfaces, you can write real-time C/C++ applications or use Python for higher-level tasks. Additionally, we have enabled the simulation of your robot in Gazebo, allowing you to gain initial experience in the simulator. The urdf can be found here too.
During the execution of the mission, you will collect data from both your mission and bysense. Things may not run as intended, but the testing and iteration cycles will be significantly faster with the provided diagnostic tools. These tools will help you capture and analyze the movements of bysense.
After completing the steps mentioned above, you will have successfully accomplished a mission cycle! Once your mission is finished, follow the post-mission protocol and return bysense into the box. After a few missions, it is advisable to review the maintenance guide to ensure bysense continues to operate as intended.
To refine your mission, proceed to the Iteration & Testing phase, where you will further experience the core advantages of bysense. Our goal is to make sensor integration straightforward and flexible, bringing your sensors to life on the move for your application.
In conclusion, completing a mission cycle with bysense involves careful planning, execution, and refinement to achieve optimal results. The process is designed to be straightforward, ensuring smooth sensor integration and efficient testing. With continuous iteration and maintenance, bysense helps bring your sensors to life and enhance your application's performance.
