First release of rp6simul, a simulator for the RP6 and m32

[-schumi-]

Ah, ok - now i know how to do it:

1. Copy your sourcecode into the rp6-folder (for example RP6Base_Move_05.c)
2. Rename it to "test.c"
3. In a terminal navigate to this folder and run "cmake CMakeLists.txt"
4. Now run "make all"
5. Open the simulator, File - New Projecet, select name and directory, then at "Plugin" chose the "rp6simul-plugin"-folder -> rp6 -> libplugin.so
6. Thada :-D when you click at the "map"-tab you can draw your map where RP6 drives

Now i have another question:
Is it possible to simulate the rp6 as fast as the pc can calculate? (like time lapse)

Okay, glad you found it out by yourself
The manual (which you can access via the menu or online also provides a nice guide using the GUI of cmake.

Actually, everything running outside any timer interrupts already runs at 'full speed'. Only the the timers run at 8 (or 16) MHz to provide realistic timing. If you would like to change the simulated AVR frequency you can take a look at the config.lua file in the src/lua/robot (and src/lua/m32) directories, but I don't expect that high values are really possible due the non-realtime operating systems we use

Great piece of work!

I added it to the list of the most interesting RP6 projects in RN-Wissen: http://www.rn-wissen.de/index.php/RP6_-_Programmierung

Ich habe den Thread mal als "wichtig" markiert, was ihn auf der ersten Seite ganz oben hält.

I marked this thread as "important", wich will make it stick to the first line on first page of this forum.

Many thanks to -Rick-! Great cinema!

It works well under Ubuntu Lucid Lynx and also under Windows XP. Now, the Robby is beside me all the time.

I installed it on Windows 7 64bit. It was working without any problems.
The manual, as well as -Rick-'s post, were very helpful. I had a little problems while runnig "make all" because my main-files return an "uint16_t" (as it is in the Arexx example Programms) and not only an "int".
After correcting that, i could use my .dll - Plugin.
I'm wondering if it also works with the Remotrol.

Thanks a lot!

Thanks everyone for the positive feedback!

Hmm I didn't noticed that they do. As the compiler is actually compiling C++, and because this language is more strict, I guess it didn't like the 'non standard' return type.

I'm wondering if it also works with the Remotrol.

I don't have any experience with Remotrol, but if I inderstand correctly, it uses the serial port to communicate with the robot. If this is the case, it is most likely possible. To do so, you first need to install a virtual serial port, on Windows I know that com0com (http://com0com.sourceforge.net/) works. Using this software, you will need to create a pair of virtual ports, and connect one of the two with the simulator (via the settings screen) and the other with Remotrol. You can create a second pair if you also want to link the simulated m32.

One short question. Is the rp6simul able to simulate the RP6 with the M32-Board?

Hallo,

ich habe im ersten Post mal einen Hinweis angefügt, dass -Rick- auch ganz gut deutsch versteht und antworten auf deutsch kein Problem sind. So können wir versuchen, diesen interessanten Thread noch ein wenig berühmter zu machen.

i added a few words to the first post from -Rick-, stating that he is able to read German posts and tries his best to help German users, too.
