The user manual for ZomB is good, but does not seem to have careful, tested, step-by-step instructions to get it going. I know at least one or two other teams are using ZomB rirght now. If one of those teams would be willing to post step-by-step instructions for how to get started with ZomB, that would be awesome, and be useful to many other teams. |
I'm currently working on some quick start tutorials for ZomB, but what there is out now should get you going. Have you looked at NetConsole? If it is spewing Duplicate symbol errors, try reinstalling ZomB.out (Start>Programs>ZomB>install bindings to robot) and if that fails, try the C++ DBPacket workaround (in the Bindings Help pdf in the ZomB Start menu folder)
Other than that, make sure you are setting your team number in Visual ZomB and that the sources (click the ... button) contains urls that start with zomb://.yourteamnumber, and then creating a dashboard (r350 should prompt you for it though)
Also, make sure you are initialize correctly on your robot code:
ZomBDashboard z;
...
constructor():
z(ZomBDashboard::GetInstance(AllTCP, "10.xx.yy.zz"))
where xxyy is your team, and zz is the computer running zomb (only necessary for sending to the robot)
