The new API2 is currently under development. The main new features are
- Support for up to 4 cameras
- Support for camera controls like brightness, contrast, auto white balance ... The supported controls depend on the camera used
- Integrated web server for controlling Robotino by a web browser or your smartphone
- Easy build process due to minimal dependencies to external libraries
The new API2 is based on a RPC like infrastructure. The REC-RPC library is a interprocess communication middleware similar to ROS. It is based on Qt and does not have any other dependencies.

API2 packages for Robotino
In order to use the API2 you need to replace packages on Robotino. The easiest way is to give Robotino Internet access. The file /etc/apt/sources.list should look like this.
deb http://doc.openrobotino.org/download/packages ./ deb http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ jaunty main restricted deb-src http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ jaunty main restricted
echo "deb http://doc.openrobotino.org/download/packages ./" > /etc/apt/sources.list echo "deb http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ jaunty main restricted" >> /etc/apt/sources.list echo "deb-src http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ jaunty main restricted" >> /etc/apt/sources.list
After setting up the sources.list
apt-get update apt-get install rec-rpc-qt4.5.0 robotino-common robotino-daemons robotino-api robotino-examples
ps -A Questions during the installation process
Install these packages without verification [y/N]? y Do you want to install symlinks? -> Yes
This will remove the API1 daemons and install the API2 counterparts. Reboot the system when installation is finished.
Alternatively you can download the packages to your computer. Replace * by the latest version.
wget http://doc.openrobotino.org/download/packages/rec-rpc-qt4.5.0_*_i386.deb wget http://doc.openrobotino.org/download/packages/robotino-common_*_i386.deb wget http://doc.openrobotino.org/download/packages/robotino_daemons_*_i386.deb wget http://doc.openrobotino.org/download/packages/robotino-api_*_i386.deb wget http://doc.openrobotino.org/download/packages/robotino-examples_*_i386.deb
The copy the files to Robotino using scp or ftp. On Robotino do
dpkg -i rec-rpc-qt4.5.0_*_i386.deb dpkg -i robotino-common_*_i386.deb dpkg -i --auto-reconfigure robotino-daemons_*_i386.deb dpkg -i robotino-api_*_i386.deb dpkg -i robotino-examples_*_i386.deb
API2 for Windows
API2 for Linux
Read how to build the API2 for Linux from source.
Build API2 yourself
Windows:
- Get the latest Qt libraries from Digia
- Alternatively build Qt from source
Build REC-RPC
Get the source via SVN:
svn co http://svn.servicerobotics.eu/rec_rpc/trunk source/rec_rpc
Configure the build environment with cmake, build and install:
mkdir build/rec_rpc cd build/rec_rpc ccmake ../../source/rec_rpc make install
Set the environment variable REC_RPC_DIR to the installation directory. The environment variable is used by the other packages to find the FindRecRpc.cmake scripts.
