Check: the USB plugged in
Check: the duckiebot has sufficient battery
Check: you have camera calibration verification hardware ready

Step 1: SSH into your duckiebot and create the directory for logging.
duckiebot $ sudo mkdir /data/logs
Step 2: Then mount your USB
duckiebot $ sudo mount -t vfat /dev/sda1 /data/logs -o umask=000
Step 3: Now we will run the docker container on our duckiebot that contains the test script. Open a new terminal on your computer. Make sure that DOCKER_HOST
variable is set by checking
laptop $ echo $DOCKER_HOST
if the output is empty then DOCKER_HOST
is not set. You can set it with
laptop $ export DOCKER_HOST=ROBOT_NAME.local
Now, we will run the docker container. Be sure to replace the DOCKER_CONTAINER
with the name provided under Abbreviations section.
laptop $ docker -H HOST_NAME.local run -it --net host --privileged -v /data/logs:/logs -v /data:/data --memory="800m" --memory-swap="2.8g" --name suitability-suite DOCKER_CONTAINER /bin/bash
Depending on you network speed it might take some time until the duckiebot downloads the container.
Step 4: Now Place your duckiebot inside the camera calibration hardware.
If you just executed Step 3, a shell inside the container should be already open.
Having the experimental setup ready, we can start testing, enter into the running camera-test
container if your are not already in, and launch the test interface.
laptop $ export DOCKER_HOST=ROBOT_NAME.local
laptop $ docker exec -it suitability-suite /bin/bash
And then launch the camera calibration.
duckiebot-container $ roslaunch calibration camera_calibration_test.launch veh:=HOST_NAME output_dir:=/logs
Note that, if output_dir
is not specified the program attempts to save the results to user´s home folder. This will fail it you don’t have enough space in your device.
With data-acquisition interface you can specify
the type of the experiment you would like to conduct by choosing amongst the presented options,
whether to save the collected experiment data by replying to the question after the experiment has been completed,
whether to do another experiment.
The results of the experiment can be found under /logs
folder in a zipped form. To download the results ![ZIPPED_RESULT_NAME] to your local computer first move the zipped folder to your /data
folder,
duckiebot-container $ mv /logs/ZIPPED_RESULT_NAME /data/
Now you can download the file by heading to HOST_NAME:8082
in your browser and then clicking on ZIPPED_RESULT_NAME
.

No log have been recorded.
Make sure you mounted USB drive. Please note that you have to should first mount it correctly before you can start data collection.
Logs are created but they are empty.
This might be because the Raspberry-Pi did not have enough time to save the data. Please increase wait_start_rosbag
and wait_write_rosbag
inside this script.
While shutting-down program complains,ROSException: publish() to a closed topic
.
This is a known problem and it does not interfere with the healthy operation of the program. It is in the to-do list to have a graceful execution termination. Feel free to contribute with a pull request if you resolve this issue.
