Microsoft Robotics Studio Example

We've added some more support for Microsoft Robotics Studio (MSRS). This release adds support for most of the functions on the Qwerk except Audio and Video. It also includes some sample Visual Programming Language (VPL) software to drive around a Qwerkbot using a GUI Joystick. Make sure you install Microsoft Robotics Studio 1.5 (Refresh) and the Microsoft Robotics Studio CourseWare. Users with older installations will need to update to 1.5 and make sure they have the Runtime and Tools update.

To download all TeRK source code, which includes the Microsoft Robotics Studio libraries and examples, click on the "Download Source Code" link below.

Installation

Download the TeRK source code using the above link and follow the included installation instructions. Then follow the instructions in the TeRKClient/code/c#/MicrosoftRoboticsStudio/TeRK/README.txt file.

As described in the README, you can use the precompiled libraries with MSRS right away. Just copy all the files from the TeRKClient\code\c#\MicrosoftRoboticsStudio\TeRK\PreCompiled\ directory into your Microsoft Robotics Studio (1.5)\bin\ directory and copy the TeRKClient/code/c#/MicrosoftRoboticsStudio/TeRK/QwerkService/QwerkService.ice.properties file driectly into your Microsoft Robotics Studio (1.5)\ directory. The QwerkService should be available for immediate use in VPL and/or directly with your services.

Advanced users who wish to modify and/or compile the QwerkService themselves should consult the README file for instructions

Usage

Once the QwerkService is installed, you can load up the sample VPL applications in TeRKClient/code/c#/MicrosoftRoboticsStudio/TeRK/QwerkService/SampleApplications for examples on how to login and drive your Qwerk using a Desktop GUI Joystick.
