HELP! P2os download from mobilerobots.

[Michael Rudy]

Hi everyone

I have Pioneer 2AT with ROS Kinetic onboard. Sonars and wheel base was working fine, but connecting LMS200 to P2AT turned into big problem. After trying to connect LMS200 to Pioneer’s internal microcontroller (C166) it seems that p2os was “reflashed” by output laser data.
Now there is no way to connect/control Pioneer 2 AT. The only place where p2os can be downloaded is http://robots.mobilerobots.com/wiki/P2OS. But login/password for authorization is lost.
So, if anyone from this group could download p2os archive and share it with me, I would really appreciate it!

Sincerely yours,
Michael Rudy

P.S. I was trying to contact with mobilerobots and moron support, but there is no reply from them.
P.P.S. As I understand my error was in connecting LMS directly to Pioneer and also not controlling position of FLASH. The right way to connect it is to plug LMS to serial-usb and configure “.p” file in ARIA dir.

Hi Michael,

Unfortunately I don't have a MobileRobots login so I can't help in downloading p2os, 

but an alternative solution is to simply use ROSARIA instead of P2OS.

The installation instructions are explained in this wiki: http://wiki.ros.org/ROSARIA/Tutorials/How%20to%20use%20ROSARIA

You can find more information about ROSARIA here: http://wiki.ros.org/ROSARIA 

I personnaly use ROSARIA because our pioneer robot in the lab was delivered with windows built-in (which is not completely compatible with ROS)

So I installed Linux and libaria, and now I'm using ROSARIA as a wrapper to libaria. It's working fine with LMS1xx.

Cordially

Amine

Hi everyone,

Thanks to everyone, who replies! Now I have latest up-to-date version of p2os! Topic can be closed.

Michael,

Someone from sup...@mobilerobots.com should get back to you within a few days of your request. Did you email sup...@mobilerobots.com or use the form? Give the serial number of the robot and the name of your university or company and they can lookup or reset the password. They will hopefully know whether it will be possible to reinstall the firmware depending on what happened. Did you attach the laser to the HOST or main SERIAL port? Or to one of the AUX serial ports (on the controller board inside the robot.) If you don't hear back email sup...@mobilerobots.com again and include me as CC reed....@adept.com.

Reed
