A ready watchtower

Flashing the SD card

Modified 2019-11-20 by Andrea F. Daniele

The image setup procedure for Watchtowers is the same as for Duckiebots.

In the Autolab of ETH Zurich, we use the naming convention:

  • linux-username: mom
  • hostname watchtowerXX (where XX specify the number of the Watchtower)
  • password MomWatches.

Important : please add --type watchtower to the flashing procedure

Important : please make sure you have set your dts to version daffy using the command dts set-version --daffy.

For RaspberryPi 4, add --experimental to the command

A complete command will look like:

laptop $ dts init_sd_card --hostname watchtowerXX --linux-username mom --linux-password MomWatches --country COUNTRY --type watchtower --experimental

Using the above naming conventions, you can flash your SD cards as is described in Duckiebot Initialization (unknown ref opmanual_duckiebot/setup-duckiebot)

Calibrating the camera

, you should do only the intrinsic calibration for the Watchtowers.

Be sure to check the quality of the image. It should be (1296x972) and not (480*640) like on the Autobots. If it is not, this means you didnt flash the Watchtower with the --type watchtower argument. To solve this, reflash it.
