IDE Preparation 

  • Software

    • Visual Studio 2010  SP1
    • Slamware Windows SDK:Slamware Windows SDK
    • RoboStudio(for map display):Robostudio installer 
    • Sample Code: 


      Info

      Higher version of Visual Studio will cause errors. sometime you will need to upgrade SP1 package to make your VS compatable with .Net Framework.


  • Hardware

          (Either one of following)

    • Slamware SDP mini 
    • Slamware SDP
    • Slamware Kit 
    • Zeus/Apollo robot base

Download

Win32-Demo

Compiling

  1. Right click on "composite_map_demo" project, set as StartUp project.

  2. Right click on "composite_map_demo", then " Properties",configure "include" and "lib" directories to the corresponding folder path of Slamware SDK.

    Info

    It's not necessary to copy files to the project directory, user will only need to configure the folder path of SDK.




  3. Right click on "composite_map_demo", then "properties",set "Command Arguments"  as follows:

    Syntax :

    composite_map_demo  [OPTS] [filename] <SDP IP Address>
    SDP IP Address            The ip address string of the SLAMWARE SDP
    getstcm filename           download compositeMap
    setstcm filename           upload compositeMap
    -h                                   Show this message

  4. Click " F5" to execute.

    • composite_map_demo getstcm map.stcm 192.168.11.1 (load composite map from slamware, and generate a map.stcm file in a defined folder path)

      The generated maps could be opened with the " map editor" plug-in of the Robostudio
    • composite_map_demo setstcm map.stcm 192.168.11.1(upload map.stcm to slamware)

      if map is successfully loaded, it will be shown in Robostudio.

Code 

  • Save maps from Slamware to a local directory.
Code Block
languagecpp
firstline1
title获取composite map
linenumberstrue
bool StcmMapWriter(const std::string file_name, SlamwareCorePlatform platform) {
	CompositeMap composite_map = platform.getCompositeMap();
    CompositeMapWriter composite_map_writer;
    std::string error_message;
    bool result = composite_map_writer.saveFile(error_message, file_name, composite_map);
    return result;
}


  •  Load composite map from a local directory.
Code Block
languagecpp
firstline1
title设置composite map
linenumberstrue
bool StcmMapReader(const std::string file_path, rpos::core::Pose pose, SlamwareCorePlatform platform) {
    CompositeMapReader composite_map_reader;
    std::string error_message;
    boost::shared_ptr<CompositeMap> composite_map(composite_map_reader.loadFile(error_message, file_path));
    if (composite_map) {
        platform.setCompositeMap((*composite_map), pose);	
        return true;
    }
    return false;
}


  • Display data of different map layers from a composite map, including virtual walls and virtual tracks, etc.
