The kayak has two computers installed in the computer box:
The top computer runs windows xp:
ip address: 192.168.1.102
computer name: laPetiteOrange
username: James
password: orange
The bottom computer runs ubuntu:
ip address: 192.168.1.101
username: ruser
password: moos-ivp
Both computers have static ip addresses and automatically log on to the SMART-ROUTER network hosted by one of the linksys routers in the lab. To connect to the computers, first connect the netbook to the SMART-ROUTER network. Once it is connected, open Putty to ssh to the ubuntu kayak computer and remote desktop to operate the windows xp computer.
Pressure data is collected with labview on the windows machine.
All other sensor data is collected with the ubuntu machine. First, run:
pAntler kayak2.moos
A bunch of messages should be output to the terminal. This process runs in the background. Open up another ssh terminal with Putty. In this second terminal, run:
zLoggerNG
This starts logging data from all of the sensors (except pressure) and stores them in a single binary file in the current directory named with the starting timestamp.zlog. To stop recording data, type
cntrl-c
to end the zlogger process. Running zLoggerNG again will start a new log file.
