Modules list

The following, are C++ modules that have been completed by the team so far.

• hello
• face
• video (work in progress)

Setting Up Workspace

This repo comes with a few C++ modules, hello and face are two of them. To get started, make sure you have naoqi-sdk-2.1.2.17 installed, and your qitoolchain is configured to use it.

• Make sure you have qibuild, qitoolchain, and qisrc installed. Clone this repository, and cd into it.

Link your project to the C++ SDK by typing

qitoolchain create <give_toolchain_a_name_here> <path_to_c++_sdk_location>/toolchain.xml

Then, configure your workspace to use this new toolchain:

qibuild config --wizard

Follow the instructions that appear, and when prompted to, select your newly made toolchain.

• Then, link all dependencies to the modules by typing qibuild configure <module_name>
• Finally, build the module by typing qibuild make <module_name>
• If you wish to create a module of your own, type qisrc create <name_of_new_module>

Adding Modules

You must add these modules to your workspace before you can build and run them.

• To add modules (that should already be present in your current folder) to the worktree, type:

qisrc add <module_name>

Building Modules

To build a specific module, make sure it's been added to your worktree. Then link its dependencies:

qibuild configure <module_name>

And run make on it:

qibuild make <module_name>

Running Modules

To run a module, simply type:

qibuild run <module_name>

Please note that if the module is a remote module (pretty much all of them are), you will need to pass arguments to it when running it, specifying the IP address of the robot. To do so, run it by typing:

qibuild run <module_name> -- --pip <IP_ADDRESS>

Make note of the double dashes before the first argument. These escape the rest of the dashes before each flag.

Troubleshooting

Configuration / Link error

In the event of error during either configuring or building a project, use

qibuild <configure / make / run> <project_name> -c <toolchain>

qibuild Error

In the event of running qibuild run <project_name> with an exit code of 13 Permission denied, install an older version of qibuild. As a last resort, execute the binary file "manually".

./<project_name>/build-<toolchain_name>/sdk/bin/<project_name>
