### Building the Simulation
|
|
|
|
In the SIM\_wheelbot directory, type **trick-CP** to build the simulation executable. When it's complete, you should see:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
=== Simulation make complete ===
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Now **cd** into models/Graphics/ and type **make**. This builds the display client for the simulation.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Running the Simulation
|
|
|
|
In the SIM_wheelbot directory:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
% S_main_*.exe RUN_test/input.py
|
|
|
|
```

#### Adding Waypoints
|
|
|
|
Waypoints, for the vehicle to follow, are added with a call to
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
veh.vehicle.add_waypoint( double N, double W )
|
|
|
|
|
