SIM_wheelbot


SIM_wheelbot is a simulation of a two-wheeled electric vehicle that follows a set of waypoints.

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 )
