• Deepkrsna Arora & Selby Dasent: Programming the image processor
• Elliot Rose & Ella Tait: Programming the robot's movement

The purpose of this project is to write software which guides a robot through a maze. The robot is equipped with a video camera and two wheels. The camera image is an input for the program. The program controls the speeds of left and right motors.

Note: The following instructions are only for a Linux based operating system.

1. Go to https://www.sfml-dev.org/download/sfml/2.5.1/
2. Install the SFML version for Linux (GCC -64-bit)
3. Extract the downloaded folder into your “Downloads” folder
4. Rename the folder to “SFML”

1. Open the terminal by pressing Ctrl + Alt + T
2. Enter the following command in the terminal: sudo apt-get install geany
3. When or if prompted, enter your password to grant permission to start the download
4. When or if prompted, enter “Y” to confirm the installation
5. Once installed, try running Geany by either entering “geany” in the terminal or searching for it in the start menu

1. Click on the “Clone or download” button in the repository
2. Click the “Download ZIP” button on the popup that appears
3. Extract the downloaded folder and open it
4. Navigate into the “AVC_server” folder
5. Open the file named “makefile” in a text editor
6. On the first line, “SFML = /home/INSERT_USERNAME_HERE/Downloads/SFML/SFML-2.5.1”, replace “INSERT_USERNAME_HERE” with your computer’s username, save it, and close the file.
7. Open the file named server3.cpp in Geany
8. Use the “Make” option from the Geany menu (Build > Make) or press Shift + F9
   • If you get a missing operator error, make sure that there is a tab (not whitespaces) on the lines before “g++” in the makefile (line 6 & 8)
   • Else, if everything goes well, you should see “Compilation finished successfully.”
9. Run the server3 program by pressing the “Execute” option from the Geany menu (Build > Execute) or press F5
10. Navigate into the “AVC_robot” folder
11. Open the file named “makefile” in a text editor
12. On the first line, “SFML = /home/INSERT_USERNAME_HERE/Downloads/SFML/SFML-2.5.1”, replace “INSERT_USERNAME_HERE” with your computer’s username, save it, and close the file.
13. Open the file named robot.cpp in Geany
14. Use the “Make” option from the Geany menu (Build > Make) or press Shift + F9 -If you get a missing operator error, make sure that there is a tab (not whitespaces) on the lines before “g++” in the makefile (line 6 & 8)
    • Else, if everything goes well, you should see “Compilation finished successfully.”
15. Run the server3 program by pressing the “Execute” option from the Geany menu (Build > Execute) or press F5
16. A terminal should open asking you for the maze being used. Enter “Core”, “Completion” or “Challenge” depending on the maze being used
    • If a terminal does not open, try pressing Alt + Tab until you find the terminal
17. Switch to the Global View by pressing Alt + Tab to view to simulation
18. To stop/close the program, press Alt + Tab to switch to each terminal open and press Ctrl + C

Note: Once the program has been executed once, you do not need to Make the files again. Simply executing the server3 and robot files in that respective order will start the simulation. Also, you can change the maze being used by editing the first line of the file named config.txt in the AVC_server folder, replacing filename, for example “core.txt” with “completion.txt”, and saving it before execution.
