PC part of Barwin

Java app controlling Barwin's evolutionary algorithm and webinterface. See http://barwin.suuf.cc/ for more info about Barwin.

This repo merges these three repos:

• https://github.com/petres/genBotWI
• https://github.com/speendo/genBot2
• https://github.com/petres/serialRMI

Dependencies

Java 7 is required!

Install some packages:

• Fedora: sudo yum install java-1.7.0-openjdk-devel rxtx guava tmux
• Debian: sudo apt-get install openjdk-7-jdk librxtx-java libguava-java tmux realpath

Maybe some symlinks in the lib/ folder have to be adjusted to your system specific folders:

RXTX Library: (should be created automatically)

• RXTXcomm.jar -> /usr/share/java/RXTXcomm.jar (optional)
• librxtxSerial.so -> /usr/lib/jni/librxtxSerial.so

Play Framework: (must be created manually)

• play -> /opt/play

If your distro does not offer any ready package, download (see http://www.playframework.com/download , tested with v2.2.2) the Play Framework and extract it to /opt/play. If the exectuable is not located at /opt/play/play you can adapt the symlink in barwin-pc/lib/play.

tmux is recommended to get tiled terminal windows:

• sudo apt-get install tmux

Build

Run make in the src/ or top directory:

make

Run

You can start the whole system using the wrapper script (this will also trigger a build):

	./run-simulation.sh

or, if you have the actual hardware connected:

	./run-barwin.sh

If that does not work, start the services in this order:

1. Build (compile) the Java source

    make
   

2. Start the Arduino simulator (enter sudo password if asked):

    bin/arduino-sim.py
   

3. Start the serial port service

    bin/serialRMI.sh
   

4. Start the evolutionary algorithm

    bin/genBot.sh
   

5. Start the web interface

    bin/play.sh
   

6. Go to web interface

   • Front-end: http://127.0.0.1:9000/
   • Back-end: http://127.0.0.1:9000/admin
