Ubiquity Robotics ROS image


Raspberry PI 3  image with ROS installed (but with a catch).
https://downloads.ubiquityrobotics.com/

Image is very easy to flash.
apt-get install gnome-disk-utility

Type:
systemctl disable magni-base

Not fully stable due to memory issues?

Bluetooth had issues on this setup. Raspbian worked, used similar settings and got BT working.

Commented following dtoverlay statement from config.txt:
cat /boot/config.txt
#dtoverlay=pi3-miniuart-bt

Modified cmdline.txt:
$ cat /boot/cmdline.txt

Matrox G200eW 1920x1200 resolution on Ubuntu 16.04

Recipe for Matrox G200eW 1920x1200 resolution on Ubuntu 16.04. (Note: Needs patch for Xorg, not easy for beginners) I am using X9SCM-F with built-in VGA controller and IPMI. Only x8 PCIe slots on this motherboard. My path is laid out below, I did not retry all of this once got it working. The resolution is most likely restricted for KVM to work. I am not interested on monitor redirection on this system, I use this system as workstation. I use 16bpp bit depth on Xserver and seems to work. The patch workings are courtesy of Samir Ibradzic. Credits to other authors whose writings helped me figure this out. https://lists.x.org/archives/xorg-devel/2012-January/028523.html The patch is for this specific PCI identifier controller in driver source, pMga->is_G200WB = (pMga->Chipset == PCI_CHIP_MGAG200_WINBOND_PCI);{ PCI_CHIP_MGAG200_WINBOND_PCI,     "mgag200 eW Nuvoton" },  $ lspci -s 03:03.0 03:03.0 VGA compatible controller: Matrox Electronics Systems Ltd.

Docker CUDA Runtime

Kuva
In this post I'm documenting rough steps to use CUDA inside Docker.  Initial status is the nvidia-smi is working but Docker does not recognize the nvidia runtime.

VESC open source motor controller

I use VESC for controlling brushless motor. Control target is closed loop control with feedback sensing on electrical robot locomotion. Purpose of this blog entry is to keep record atleast for myself. VESC is developed by Benjamin Vedder. The design is open source and comes in different version on hardware and software. VESC supports various operation modes with feedback by back EMF, hall sensors and encoders. Documentation for modes could be improved. Per code review the hall sensor cannot be not used as primary feedback method, rather the code relies on back EMF. Due to this, the calibration of feedback is necessary to get the motor working properly. With bad calibration, the back EMF feedback is not stable. Unstable operations can be seen as oscillating control signal, which can also result power rails to become unstable due to power surging to motor. STM32F4 supports quadrature encoder A/B signals by hardware and VESC uses this functionality also. I have not tested quadrat
