1. INTRODUCTION

1. INTRODUCTION

Thank you for buying the Kilobot!

Kilobots are low cost robots designed at Harvard University's Self-Organizing Systems

Research Lab http://www.eecs.harvard.edu/ssr . The robots are designed to make testing collective algorithms on hundreds or thousands of robots accessible to robotics researchers.

Though the Kilobots are low-cost, they maintain abilities similar to other collective robots. These abilities include differential drive locomotion, on-board computation power, neighbor-toneighbor communication, neighbor-to neighbor distance sensing, and ambient light sensing.

Additionally they are designed to operate such that no robot requires any individual attention by a human operator. This makes controlling a group of Kilobots easy, whether there are 10 or 1000 in the group.

1.1 How to use this handbook

This handbook introduces the Kilobot and its various operating modes. For a quick start,

jump to chapter 4 ”Usage”.

If this handbook does not answer one of the problems you wish to solve, please consult the K-Team web site ( http://www.k-team.com

) and especially the Forum and the FAQs.

1.

Bootload: transmit the kilobot user program from the OHC to the Kilobots, which takes about 30 seconds. Ensure all robots are in pause mode before bootloading.

2.

Sleep: put Kilobots in low-power SLEEP mode. They will wake up briefly every 60 seconds to check if a wakeup message is being sent. The robots conserve energy in this mode and can stay in sleep for months without recharging.

3.

Pause: put Kilobots in idle PAUSE mode, and is also used to prepares robots to be reprogrammed.

4.

Run: initiates Kilobots user program.

5.

Battery Voltage: instructs Kilobots to indicate their battery voltage through the LED. where green indicates a battery voltage over 4V, blue indicates a voltage between 3.75 and 4, yellow indicates a voltage between 3.5 and 3.75, and red indicates a voltage under

3.5 volts .

6.

Bootloader msg: sends a message for all robots to exit their program and jump to the bootloader.

7.

Wakeup: take Kilobots out of low-power SLEEP mode. This message will transmit untill stop is pressed. It will take a minute or two for all the robots to wake up.

8.

Reset: restarts the Kilobot program.

9.

Charge: instructs Kilobots to enter CHARGE mode for battery recharging. The robots will stop the user program and blink red if they are actively charging, if not, the RGB led will turn off.

10.

Toggle LEDs: flashes the LEDs on the OHC.

11.

Stop: stops whatever the OHC is doing. This can be used to stop functions that are continuous such as wakeup or bootloading.

Kilobot User Manual 17

4. Usage

4.5.3 Kilobots API

The different functions specialy developed for the Kilobot are explained below:

set_motor(cw_motor,ccw_motor)

Set motor speed PWM values for motors between 0 (off) and 255 (full on) for cw_motor and ccw_motor

Example:

set_motor(100,100);

note that there are 4 calibration values used with the motors cw_in_place - value for cw motor to turn the robot cw in place (note: ccw motor should be off) ccw_in_place - value for ccw motor to turn the robot ccw in place (note: cw motor should be off) cw_in_straight - value for the cw motor to move the robot in the forward direction ccw_in_straight - value for the ccw motor to move the robot in the forward direction

_delay_ms(x)

Busy wait for x milliseconds, interrupts can still trigger

//max value for milliseconds = 4000

Example:

_delay_ms(250);

set_color(r,g,b)

Set LED color, values can be from 0(off)-3(brightest)

Example:

set_color(1,1,1);

kprinti(int)

Print integer over serial port - be careful can effect timing!

Example:

kprinti(12);

• kprints(string)

Print string up to 10 characters - be careful, can effect timing!

Example:

kprints("HelloWorld");

message_out(tx0,tx1)

Set message values to be sent over IR every .2 seconds, 2 bytes tx0,tx1

Example:

message_out(0x01,0xFF);

18 Kilobot User Manual

4. Usage

• get_message()

Take oldest message off of rx buffer message. It is only new if message_rx[5]==1 !

If so, message is in message_rx[0] and message_rx[1]; distance to transmitting robot (in mm) is in message_rx[3]

Example: get_message();

if(message_rx[5]==1)

{

data=message_rx[0];

distance=message_rx[3];

}

• enable_tx to turn off the transmitter, set enable_tx = 0 to turn on the transmitter, set enable_tx = 1

Example:

if(Want_To_Transmit==TRUE)

enable_tx = 1;

else enable_tx = 0;

• measure_charge_status()

Measure if battery is charging, returns 0 if no, 1 if yes

Example:

if(measure_charge_status())

charging = TRUE;

else

charging = FALSE;

• measure_voltage()

Measure battery voltage, returns voltage in .01 volt units for example if 394 is returned, then the voltage is 3.94 volts

Example: current_voltage = measure_voltage();

• get_ambient_light()

Returns the value of ambient light note: will return -1 if there is an incoming message (which also uses a/d) note: turns off interrupts for a short while to sample a/d

Example:

local_brightness = get_ambient_light();

Numerous other functions and AVR-C programming examples can be found on the web.
