2013-11-06 01:01:52 -0500 | marked best answer | kinect and turtlebot and xbox Hi It seems if I want to DIY to put kinect purchased together with a xbox on turtlebox, I have to modify the original kinect which involves cutting the power cable of kinect. Can the modified kinect be still used with xbox? Anyone has done this? Thanks Jack |

2012-09-29 07:46:43 -0500 | commented answer | turtlebot with one or two laptops Thanks Ryan.that's what I suspect too, the bandwidth problem if choosing wireless. Have a great weekend. |

2012-09-29 04:40:30 -0500 | commented answer | turtlebot with one or two laptops You are right. Ryan. I also have a roo tooth which is almost the same as BAM and except it does not use the plug BAM uses on the Create. Therefore, I can still use power/gyro board. Again, it is the kinect that I worroed. Does Kinect have to be connected into the netbook? Thanks. |
2012-09-28 16:26:42 -0500 | answered a question | turtlebot with one or two laptops Hi Ryan, Thanks for answer. A related question. I have a iRobot Create and a device called BAM (http://www.elementdirect.com/files/10542B.pdf). With the BAM installed, I can communicate with the Create as if it were directly connected to my desktop/laptop host with a serial cable. In this case, judged from your experience, can I just use one desktop/laptop, installed with ROS, with BAM on Create, so that to eliminate the need of another netbook on turtlebot, thus reduce the cost. Thank you Jack PS The only problem I can think of is the data from Kinect. Is Kinect directly connected to the netbook on turtlebot or the data from Kinect can be wirelessly transmitted to the other desktop/laptop, if it can wirelessly, we may not need the netbook, may we? |

2012-09-28 10:56:58 -0500 | asked a question | irobot create package/stack HI I have a irobot create and BAM so that I can connect my laptop to irobot create via bluetooth. I browsed software on ROS site and find a few packages/stacks that are for irobot Create. But they are all for some kind of modified Create (such as add-on camera, laser range finer, etc). Is there any package that is purely for the barebone irobot Create that I can try? Any recommendations. Thank you. Jack |
2012-09-28 10:54:07 -0500 | asked a question | turtlebot with one or two laptops Hi, I am new to ROS and Linux. Interested in getting a turtlebot. From turtlebot's website, it seems it already has a laptop directly connected to the turtlebot via a USB calbe. here is my questions. How is the turtlebot typically used? a) Do I need to have another laptop/desktop that is connected to the laptop on turtlebot via network, so that instructions can be transmitted from the laptop/desktop to the laptop on the turtlebot via the network? b) or can I just use the laptop on top of the turtlebot, if I feel it is not inconvenient to unplug the laptop from turtlebot, write my program on the laptop, and then plug the laptop to the turtlebot? Thank you. Jack |
