Requirements

This is a list of all you’ll need in order to get Ubiquity robots up and running.

➤ CR2032 Coin Battery

To power up the real time clock and make sure robot time is always accurate.

➤ Wifi and SSH Capable Computer

Most of the live administration to the robot is normally done by opening an SSH console to the host computer. As such you need what’s likely to be a laptop and a capability to run SSH (via Terminal on Mac and Linux or through puTTY on Windows).

Note: Not required for Conveyorbot, and only wifi capability is needed for EZ-Map.

For advanced use:

➤ Linux compatible computer or virtual machine

The Magni robot is normally running all the software for whatever sensors and navigation mode you are using for your project, but as viewing data through a terminal is very limited, it is handy to have a proper ROS workstation so you can visualize the data on your workstation using RViz and run more demanding nodes locally that can then interact with the robot through ROS.

➤ Sensors

If the software suite you intend to use requires additional sensors you’ll need to obtain and mount them as well.
