Pioneer P3-DX

I think this should work -- I believe the onboard Pioneer computer also talks to the chassis over a serial port connection. Have you tried running the Pioneer sample on your computer, connected to the Pioneer chassis?

Hey Kexyn,

I am trying to configure a Lantronix WiBox to connect to the Pioneer P3-AT through its serial port. I have tried to get them to work, but I am failing miserably. I was wondering if you can help me out. I am able to to ping the WiBox but I am not configuring Channel 1 (Serial Port) correctly to communicate with the P3-AT. If its not a problem, can I get some contact information to seek your help (since you have successfully done this already). Thanks.

Hello Kexyn,

Per the error message in your original message, do you have a file located at [1]?

[1] C:\Microsoft Robotics Studio 1.5 (CTP May 2007)\store\ArcosCoreService.xml

You will want to check the DriverState section and adjust the connection settings...

<ArcosCoreState xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/xw/2005/12/arcoscore.html">

<DriverState>

<ComPort>COM1</ComPort>

<BaudRate>0</BaudRate>

</DriverState>

</ArcosCoreState>

If the file doesn't exist, you can create it as follows:

1. Run VPL

2. Drag the "Arcos Core" service on to the pallette

3. In the properties tab, change Configuration to "Set initial configuration"

4. Update the DriverState section with the appropriate config

5. Save the diagram

6. Find the ArcosCore.Config.xml in the directory where you saved the diagram and copy it to [1], making sure to change the name to "ArcosCoreService.xml".

7. Run your service again.

Let me know if this resolves your issue.

David
