I needed to connect my Arduino and Edison through serial connction.
First of all run the Arduino IDE an get the library “Rosserial” version 1.7.8 (for ROS Lunar). Upload the sketch:

OpenFrameWorks with ofxCv in the QTCreator
Hello.
Today we’ll talk about an amazing toolkit Openframeworks.
I installed it (stable 0.9.8 version) on Ubuntu 16.04 without any problems (see instruction, but don’t forget to run the install_codecs.sh script).

UART connect Intel Edison and Arduino Mega 2560
If you want to connect some motor shields or sensors to Intel Edison you can do it by an extension board. But you’ll probably have to code a special libs for this. Instead of it you can connect an Arduino board to Intel Edisson and connect them though the UART interface.

Jubilinux 3.0 stretch and a gamepad.
After my sd-card crashing I found a new version of Ubilinux on jubilinux.org. Thank you, Robin Kirkman! Continue reading “Jubilinux 3.0 stretch and a gamepad.”
Joystick and Intel Edison
The Ubilinux doesn’t have the joydev module. I don’t know why. Correspondingly, we can’t start the xboxdrv program. There are two ways to fix this problem. The first one: you have to download the following kernels-headers for Yocto:
1 2 |
wget https://communities.intel.com/servlet/JiveServlet/downloadBody/23882-102-1-28238/linux-headers-3.10.17-poky-edison_3.10.17-poky-edison-1_i386.deb.zip wget https://communities.intel.com/servlet/JiveServlet/downloadBody/23884-102-1-28268/linux-libc-dev_3.10.17-poky-edison-1_i386.deb.zip |
and then compile by yourself with the command:

make -C /lib/modules/3.10.17-poky-edison/build M=$PWD |
Connect the Kinect v. 2.0 to UP board
I have been waiting fo a long time a mobile device which is able to receive the data from the Kinect v. 2.0 (XBox One). The device must have a USB 3.0 port. Finally I found the board on Kickstarter. Its name is UP Board.

The teaching a robot to speak
We installed Ubilinux and ROS on our Intel Edison board. Now we’ll study some features, which The Robotics Operation System gives us. Today we explore the sound play module.

The ROS install to the OS Ubilinux
I told you how to install the OS Ubilinux on the Intel Edison board in the last post. I need this system for using the ROS (Robotic Operation System). I also need some functions which doesn’t included to the standard comm version:
- communication between Edison and Arduino Mega through serial port (UART)
- receiving frames from USB-camera and transmitting them with OpenCV support
- getting gamepad commands (XBox or DualShock)
- creating custom message types
Installing the Ubilinux on the Intel Edison board
This post about the Ubilinux installation on the Intel Edison board. The Ubilinux allows you to install the ROS and use its power. Before following this tutorial I recommend to extend partition size of board with an SD card: read this.
1. The Ubilinux installation.
You will be needed in the edison driver in you are using Windows: IntelEdisonDriverSetup1.2.1.exe.
To prepare for the installation we have to install the dfu-util (USB Device Firmware Upgrade). To do this you have to input to terminal on your desktop machine (in my case it is Ubuntu 14.04):
1 |
sudo apt-get install dfu-util |
Then we should download the Ubilinux from the EmutexLab site and unzip it:
1 2 |
cd ~/Downloads tar xvfz ubilinux-edison-150309.tar.gz |
After that we go to the directory and run the firmware script:
1 2 |
cd ~/Downloads/toFlash sudo ./flashall.sh |

Install the OpenCV 3.1 on Ubuntu 14.04 with CUDA support
Hello, today we’ll install the OpenCV library on the Ubuntu 14.04 operation system. We need the installed CUDA 7.5 (we have done it in the previous post). First, we have to update our Ubuntu system. Open your terminal and execute:
1 |
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade && sudo apt-get autoremove |
