Cuddlebot Control Server

The Cuddlebot Control Server cuddled is implemented using the Go Programming Language as a RESTful API.

Getting Started

To get started, install Go from the project website. Then, install the Go package dependencies:

go get github.com/codegangsta/negroni
go get github.com/phyber/negroni-gzip/gzip
go get github.com/stretchr/graceful
go get github.com/mikepb/go-crc16

These packages include the Negroni HTTP Middleware for Go and supporting packages.

To build binaries for Linux on ARM, you'll also need to install the GNU Tools for ARM Embedded Processors. Make sure that the tools are available on your PATH.

A Makefile is available with the following targets:

• build compile cuddled and cuddlespeak for the current platform and for Linux/ARM
• clean remove the build directories

The binaries under bin-arm-linux/ are used as part of the Yocto Embedded Linux build process. More details are available as part of the Cuddlebot system image project.

Project File Organization

• bin/ compiled binaries for the current platform
• bin-arm-linux/ compiled binaries for the Linux/ARM
• cuddle implements the control server library
• cuddled implements the control server daemon
• cuddlespeak implements a command-line tool to control the motors
