ArPiRobot-CoreLib

Core library for ArPiRobot robots containing user-facing API, device "driver" code, etc.

cpp_library

C++ Library. This is where everything is implemented. This library is loaded by bindings to other languages, or used to program the robot in C++.

Python bindings for the ArPiRobot core library (C++). The python library matches the object oriented API of the C++ library.

Any of the above folders can be opened in VSCode (or other IDEs as appropriate) and (provided correct extensions are installed) be easily worked with / built using VSCode
- cpp_library
  - recommended extensions
    - C/C++ Extension (Microsoft)
    - CMake Tools (Microsoft)
  - When building use the arpirobot-toolchain.cmake file (pre-configured as a CMake kit for VSCode)
- python_bindings
  - recommended extensions
    - Python extension (Microsoft)
    - Pylance extension (Microsoft)
  - Recommended to use Pylance as the language server
Deploying to robot for testing
- In this (project root) folder there are several scripts
  - dev-deploy.py: Used to copy built library and language bindings to the robot (192.168.10.1) via SCP. Files deployed to /home/pi/CoreLibTest. Make sure you build the C++ library before deploying or some files will be missing.
  - start-cpp.sh: Used to start the C++ testrobot program (run this on the robot using SSH)
  - start-py.sh: Used to start the Python testrobot program (run this on the robot using SSH)
Running on dev PC for testing
- You must first build the cpp library for your pc (native build)
- Use the run.py script to run either the python or cpp test robot on your development computer
