To connect to the robot with your laptop, follow these steps:
- Turn the robot on with the switch on it's side.
- Wait until the WMAC address appears on the robot's OLED screen. The final 6 characters of the WMAC address (xxxxxx) will complete the wireless hotspot name your robot is broadcasting. Connect your WiFi to the appropriate hotspot, i.e. penguinpi:xx:xx:xx (see the image for an example). The password for the wireless hotspot is egb439123
- Ssh to the robot with the command: ssh -X pi@192.168.50.5
- When prompted, enter password: PenguinPi
For this robot, connect WiFi to "penguinpi:c9:92:c1"

In the terminal connected to the robot, navigate to RVSS2019-WS/on_robot/ folder and run test_camera_motors.py
This script turns on both the motors and takes an image with the camera (so make sure you're holding the robot!).
If there are any issues when running this script, or if your motors don't spin, let one of the workshop organisers know as your robot may be faulty.

Please follow these instructions when you want to turn off the robot:
1. In the terminal that is connected to the robot, type 'sudo halt'.

Note: after typing 'sudo halt', the LED will flash, then turn solid, then finally turn off after this this pattern.
Now you are connected to the robot!
