GPS robotics by Aristo Tacoma

G15 PMN Spreadsheet, also called "GPS",
is an application using the core
definitions of FCM inside G15 PMN.
[For all standard G15 PMN apps,
consult 
norskesites.org/fic3/fic3inf3.htm]






Here GPS is elegantly expanded so that
it permits interactive control over
robots, and indeed program integration
with FCM for real robotic work
--which is entirely free of the
inconsequential thinking which goes 
under the term "AI" and its fancy 
variations; "AI" is but a slogan 
covering up nonthinking. 
More about this in Library.
More about author and quicklinks here.
A main initial task is production
of avenueGE scents--buy to sponsor this.

Hardware: At present we work with the
excellent open source licensed
robotic hardware product by the Chinese
factory Ufactory, called xArm7,
with G15 PMN throning over it
through Ubuntu in its
latest long-term release, as
sole platform on a powerful Asus
laptop. If you can afford an xArm7
there is no easier installation
instructions for Ubuntu for it
than here--and Ubuntu is much
more robot- and first-hand
programming friendly than Windows,
which is not as much an operating
system as a hardware-bound 
emulation with surface features 
of an operating system. Meaning,
they are in control, and as such,
no real programming on Ms Windows
can be done.

Full installation info:
[[[Note: project is in very early
stage and is updated all the time,
see update date inside this text:]]]

initrbt.txt

Get the development program package:

g15rbt.zip

The G15RBT is for instructing the
motions of the robot. When you have
got it going, set up the G15RCAM,
next, in exactly the same way, with
the same 'xarm' subfolder and all,
to work with camera input from it.

g15rcam.zip

See the open source licenses involved
and pls respect these. 



G15BG: G15 PMN in Batch Graphics version
for Linux 64-bit Amd/Intel and Android
Phones ARM

This is an aspect of the G15RBT package,
and can be used for production setups
with robots, and as an informal little
extra programming terminal on a tiny
Android device. All you need are standard
free open source programs like Xterm for
Linux and the .six-image enabled 
Termux/Monet, an excellent open source
package which is a fork of the also
excellent open source package Termux,
for Android, here included (respect
their licenses).

Installation instructions: here.
These are also inside the zip, but read
them carefully first.
The G15BG package, Ubuntu and similar
Linuxes, and Android: g15bg.zip



EXTRA
Here's a couple of the standard 
G15 PMN programs you can try with 
G15BG, including editor: bgextra1.zip
Read its info: bgextra1.txt
It is easy to set up more programs
yourself to be used with the mountf
command, just get them to run from
card 1 in fdisk, then rename them
suitably.

as included in standard G15 PMN,
