This section describes:
- How to create a project
- How to open a project
- How to configure a project
For more information on the definition and contents and of a project, please visit the concept section.
Creating a Project
Click File>New Project in the menu bar.
You have the option to choose a directory where the project will be stored. By default, each Project is stored in the seoulrobotics/projects
folder, so they will remain in place when you upgrade the software.
It is recommended to store projects in the default location. If you need to change the projects directory, do not place them in any directories that are protected by the operating system. This means /var
, /bin
, /lib
, /root
and most others outside of the /home
directory.
Loading a Project
To load a project, click File>Open Project in the menu bar. To select a project, select the folder containing all the project files.
In the below example, the projects
folder holds four projects. Select the desired project (i.e. highlight the folder by left-clicking on it once) and then click OK.
Configuring a Project
Once you open a new project, you will meet am empty Algo Node/Sensor List on the left.
Eventually, You will need add your sensors to the list and depending on your setup add Algo Nodes.
Click a Gear Icon
next to the "Default Name", which opens Algo Node Configuration Window
. Configure Algo Node Name, IP address, Presets and Rosbag replay file on this window.
Add a Sensor to start Let's start with adding a sensor.
- Click
Add Sensor
, - Select the sensor Type : LiDAR,
- Select your LiDAR model among the list,
- Input your sensor configuration*.
*All lidars have a slightly different configuration, generally to configure your sensor, you need to input its ip address and port.
Once all your lidars are added, we need to calibrate them.
If you don't have any live sensor yet, you can download our Sample data.
Tip
You can enable and disable a sensor or even an Algo node using the toggle button in front of its name.
