Hi @m.erdemozdemir, welcome to the Poppy community :smiley:

The official disk image release channel is hosted by GitHub, and downloadable files can be found there.
Please check the step-by-step installation section provided by the documentation.

The Poppy team provides support for this image, and it is the one our retailer (Generation Robots) uses to ship their Poppy robots.

The whole image build process is explained on our GitHub raspoppy repository, and it is exactly how the Poppy Ergo Jr robot disk image is made.

There are other disk images made by community members to suit their needs, but any kind of support is left to the author of the image. Should you use such a disk image, please note that the Poppy team might not be able to help you.

Cheers!

Thank you Sir. But I want to program the robot. And I want to develope the robot. I think that will be first in Turkey. For programming the robot which programs should I use?

There are many ways to program the robot, depending on your programming proficiency :slight_smile:

We developed educational activities that use the visual programming environment Snap, which are aiming at students from middle to high school. If you understand French language, please have a look at the initiation activities.

For people who want to interact with the robot to a lower level, the Jupyter interactive code environment let you use the Python programming language.

What is the context you intend to use the robot in?

I want to use sensors. Like Raspberry Pi Cam. How to robot connect to snap? I understand that, I will burn the image to SD Card. And I will set Bonjour. Just theese. Ok?
Why we use Bonjour?
How can I download and use Jupyter?

Hi,

On my side I can help you using poppy if you choose to use the official or the roboticia image, no problem (As you understood there is a commercial link between Generation Robot and Inria). These 2 images are very close, here the small differrences :
_ Official poppy image is for one creature only and you need to change the bootstrap for each creatures.
_ Roboticia image can manage all the poppy creature real or simulated and the roboticia creatures via a web-interface using Django.
_ The poppy image is fully described (on the raspoppy github) and can be adapted to other boards (odroid, …) my image is Only for Raspberry pi…

Now answer to your questions :
_ using sensor : very good idea, it is set by default on ergo-jr. Raspberry pi cam is working very well. Just connect the cam and use the appropriate code : robot.camera.frame
_ Connect to snap : also set by default
_ Using Bonjour is needed on windows system to acces a local dns like : http://roboticia.local It is the link between the name and the ip. Anyway if you know the ip of your raspberry you can access directly without using Bonjour : http://192.168.xxx.xxx/
_ You don’t need to donwload Jupyter it is also set by default.

Just acces to http://poppy.local/ or http://roboticia.local/ and you will understand that it is very easy to use :slight_smile:
