Talk:Khepera III Toolbox

Hello DISAL,

I,m currently a PhD student that focus on the khepera 4 programming.

When I want to use your K4 toolbox, there is several issues:

(1) After the installation, I type 'k4go -h' to check and it appears 'bash: /usr/bin/perl^M: bad interpreter: no such file or directory '. After I search the error ,It seems that the scripts are for the windows. I use dos2unix to change them which makes it works. But I'm not sure if it is correct after using dos2unix.

(2)it always appear 'connection time out'when I type 'k4go' or 'k4put'.. I can not handle my robot using the scripts. By the way, if I follow the original instructions from k-team, the robot can be driven using keyboard which means the connection of the device works well.

(3) For the programs, there is not executable files. It seems I need use 'make'. But it can not recognize my toolchain gcc compiler. There are to mkaefile 'makefiles' and 'makefiles.include' and I don't know which one I should use. Would you provide me a new zip folder and some simple manual about the toolbox.

Do you have some ideas about how to program the Khepera4? I just need some basic function right now like target tracking and position following.

Thanks for your work.

Best,
