Error while connecting the Poppy Humanoid robot to the PC

Hello there,

I tried many ways and I finally am able to ping the robot in my PC. I used http://poppy.local and I was able to open the web interface. But when I go to python Terminal it shows the connection is refused,

It shows the following error in the logs:
Attempt 1 to start the robot…
Could not initalize robot: Cannot configure port, something went wrong. Original message: WindowsError(87, ‘The parameter is incorrect.’)
Attempt 2 to start the robot…

Your insight into this error will be appreciated.
Thanks. :slight_smile:

Hi,
Could you upgrate pypot to the last version (pip install pypot -U), the error message should be clearer. I’m not sure to understand. On which platform are run running the code ? It seams to be windows, but you say you have the web interface on the robot…

Hi Theo,

I am running the robot on Windows platform on my PC but the odroid board in the robot has a Ubuntu Linux platform. I tried to link the humanoid with my PC using the ethernet cable via a switch and I was able to ping the IP address of the robot from the PC. only when I type http://10.118.18.89/ I get the following web interface which seems to be working

but if I type http://poppy.local I got an error message saying the following

But I ignored the poppy.local link and I have approached the web interface using the IP address. If I go to python terminal, it says connection failed. And I got these errors in the log file of web interface:

Then I decided to go to the python notebook not through the web interface of the robot but through the anaconda navigator and I wrote the following code to see what happens

  from pypot.creatures import PoppyHumanoid

  poppy = PoppyHumanoid()

Then I got all the errors that I have listed in my previous post .

So the problem is that, I am not able to operate the web interface properly and I am getting all sorts of errors.

I hope I have explained my doubt.
@pierre and @theo, you guys can be very helpful.

Thanks in advance for the help. :slight_smile:

@shashank6 were you able to fix that issue??
