We’ve got a couple XRPs in our fleet, and we’re working to build them into demo robots we can turn loose at events without fear of hurting anyone’s ankles.
Silly question time: Has anyone tried to get more than one XRP driving teleoperated off one laptop? If you’ve done it, any tricks to share? We can surely suck it up and bring two laptops, but why bring two when we can bring one?
I can at minimum confirm that you can use one laptop with multiple XRP robots connected via Bluetooth in separate Chrome tabs for Blockly/XRP code programming. That does work. So you could demo Sumo bots that way.
Curious, were your robots autonomous or using a gamepad? (We’re striking out on where to find the latter, with some reports that it’s “coming soon” still.)
Autonomous mostly.
I think it requires a second device to run the webserver on two.
I’m not sure about the pestolink stuff. But the FRC WPIlib seems to need a device for each.
