Robocup Base Station

TLDR

This Repository houses the code for our raspberry pi base station that relays information from the base computer to the robots.

Running

To run the base station use one of the following commands

cargo build --release
./target/release/robocup-base-station "{Base Computer Listening Address}"

cargo run --release -- "{Base Computer Listening Address}"

Problem

In the past, Robojackets has used a complicated Ubiquity setup for communications with our robots. This setup included a router, a switch, a cloud key, ... and was incredibly temperamental while still giving us terrible latency. Therefore, we are switching from a WiFi communication setup to a rf radio based communication to hopefully reduce the latency and the pain that is setting up our competition setup.

Docs

To read documentation for the Repo run the following command:

cargo doc --open
