Downloading and Installing Myro/Java

The current version of Myro/Java is 1.1.0 (5 August 2011).

The code is downloadable via:

• The svn repository at http://svn.cs.brynmawr.edu/Myro/trunk/Java/ .

• As a zip file here.

• Browsable on the web at http://svn.cs.brynmawr.edu/viewvc/Myro/trunk/Java/ .

INSTALL.txt (included in the project from the above sources) contains detailed instructions for installing Myro/Java.

Bluetooth Setup

The following pages describe how to setup the Bluetooth connection between your computer and the scribbler. (NOTE: These pages were written for the Python implementation of Myro; you can ignore all steps that involve python.)

• Linux (Bluetooth setup is described after step 10)
• MacOSX (Follow steps 1-10, but look at step 11 to see the device name)
• Windows7
• WindowsXP

Myro/Java Documentation

JavaDoc documentation is included in the downloaded files and is also available here as pdfs

• Scribbler-JavaDoc.pdf
• MyroImage-JavaDoc.pdf
• MyroGUI-JavaDoc.pdf
• MyroListener-JavaDoc.pdf

Myro/Java Sample Code and Tutorials

Several sample programs and tutorials were developed for SIGCSE2011 and are available here .

Learning Computing With Robots-Java Edition

Drafts of the "Learning Computing with Robots-Java Edition" textbook are available here .

Notes

A few notes:

• I've developed this using BlueJ and the repo includes a BlueJ project (called "Project") where Myro is defined.
• The Java code relies on a modified rxtx serial driver (I called this rxtxScribbler) for communication with the scribbler/fluke. The code also relies on JInput for communication with the gamepad. Binary files for these libraries are in the repo in the Binaries folder.
• Brief instructions for installing Java/BlueJ/libraries are contained in INSTALL.txt
• I've tested this on Linux (Fedora 14, both 32 and 64 bit), Windows 7 & XP (both 32 and 64 bit), and Mac OSX (Tiger(32 bit) and Snow Leopard(64 bit)).
• Getting bluetooth connections working is pretty much the same as described for Myro at http://wiki.roboteducation.org/Myro_Installation_Manual

If anyone is interested please feel free to download the code and try it out, but please keep in mind that it's still a bit rough in places. Any comments/suggestions/bugs/etc are appreciated!
