OS based on Ubuntu 16.04, which runs on the SBC (ASUS Tinker Board) and contains all

components needed to start working with ROS immediately. The microSD card with OS is

included with each ROSbot. The OS has been modified to make the file system insensitive to

sudden power cuts.

In some cases you will need to flash the OS image to the microSD card once again:

in case of accidential damage of the system,

to update the OS (it can be udpated remotely, but flashing the microSD card can be easier

sometimes),

to clear all user changes and restore factory settings. To do that, you have to disassembly the

top cover, unscrew the 4 screws on the CORE2 corners and carefully carry up CORE2 with SBC.

Then you can change the microSD card and flash the OS. You can find the image and flash

manual here. If you want to replace the included card, remember that you need to use at least

16 GB capacity and 10 speed class micro SD card.

First steps

Connection to Husarion Cloud

Things you need: the ROSbot, any Android device with Wi-Fi connectivity and with hConfig app

installed (available on Google Play and App Store), any PC computer to work with ROSbot, the

Wi-Fi network.

Launch the hConfig application and follow the instructions. Note: The app will ask you to hold

hCfg button on CORE2 and to watch LR1, LR2 LEDs – they are all available on the rear panel.

Now you should see your ROSbot online and you can start with ROSbot tutorial.

ROS tutorials

ROS (Robot Operating System) provides libraries and tools to help software developers create robot

applications. It provides hardware abstraction, device drivers, libraries, visualizers, message-passing,

package management, and more. It's very powerful and functional tool dedicated to design robots.

We created the set of ROS tutorials dedicated for this platform to make it easier to familiarize

yourself with these frameworks.
