Software Environment

Throughout this assignment, only Windows platform is supported. No Mac OSX or Linux please. If you don't have a PC, find one.

Processing

Download processing. Please make sure you are downloading the standard Windows version 0135, not the latest releases. Or download it here: processing-0135.zip
Create a directory "Programs" on the C: disk, in the root. If "C:\Programs" exists already, skip this step.
Extract the entire directory to C:\Programs (note, not "C:\Program Files"). if you are reinstalling Processing, remove the entire processing directory first.

This library adds the support for Arduino and AdMoVeo to Processing.
Download creapro.jar
In C:\Programs\processing-0135\libraries, create a sub-directory "creapro".
In C:\Programs\processing-0135\libraries\creapro, create a sub-directory "library".
Place creapro.jar in C:\Programs\processing-0135\libraries\creapro\library. After this procedure, your should have a directory tree as below:

Download Arduino software Please make sure you are downloading the Windows version 0011, not the latest releases.
Create a directory "Programs" on the C: disk, in the root. If "C:\Programs" exists already, skip this step.
Extract the entire directory to C:\Programs (note, not "C:\Program Files"). if you are reinstalling Arduino software, remove the entire Arduino directory first.

unscrew four fasting screws.
lift the upper PCB up carefully.
install four rechargeable AA batteries. pay attention to the "+" and "-" indicators.
put the PCB back to its position and fast the screws.
remove the power selection jumper on the Arduino board, if the jumper is there. You may found it by looking for "PWR_SEL" on the PCB.
carefully install the Arduino board onto the robot platform. Pay attention to the orientation. Do not force the Arduino board onto the platform if it does not fit.
You may need to charge the batteries first. The batteries can only be charged when the robot is switched off. When the robot is on, the batteries are not being charged at the same time.

Download the test program and see whether everything works as expected. see AdMoVeo for details.
