Package Description

Utilities for flashing and enabling Kobuki's USB connection. This package contains tools for flashing the Kobuki's FTDI chip (usually done at the factory). The special firmware for the FTDI chip (USB to serial converter) enables it to appear as /dev/kobuki on the user's PC.

Kobuki FTDI

[How it Works][Is it just Working?][Flashing the Device]

This package provides tools for factory-flashing the FTDI usb-to-serial device on a kobuki or for troubleshooting thereafter.

It is not a necessary dependency for actually running a kobuki.

How it Works

Kobuki’s FTDI chip is flashed with a special identifier that allows programs to uniquely identify the device as a kobuki. This in turn allows for udev rules that conveniently establish it’s presence in a *nix filesystem under /dev/kobuki.

Is it just Working?

Does kobuki appear as USB device?

> lsusb
0403:6001 Future Technology Devices International, Ltd FT232 USB-Serial (UART) IC

Do you see it in dmesg when you insert the usb cable?

Trouble Shooting

  • No /dev/kobuki:
# copy across udev rules
> sudo cp 60-kobuki.rules /etc/udev/rules.d
> sudo service udev reload
> sudo service udev restart

  • Does kobuki stream data?

Check if anything is streaming - even when you don’t have a program explicitly connected, you should see a stream of unusual characters.

> cat /dev/kobuki 

If you don’t have any streaming, check that your kernel has the ftdi_sio kernel driver built. Refer to https://github.com/yujinrobot/kobuki_core/issues/24 for more discussion.

  • Everything seems fine, yet I still can’t get the kobuki driver to communicate with it. You may not be in the correct group:
> sudo addgroup $(USER) dialout

Flashing the Device

Only do this if you are at the factory or you are very certain it is necessary. This should rarely need to be done outside of the factory.

Package Description

Utilities for flashing and enabling Kobuki's USB connection. This package contains tools for flashing the Kobuki's FTDI chip (usually done at the factory). The special firmware for the FTDI chip (USB to serial converter) enables it to appear as /dev/kobuki on the user's PC.

Trouble Shooting

What to check if kobuki does not bring up properly
  • Does kobuki stream data?

cat /dev/kobuki # check if any data stream happens

  • Does kobuki appear as USB device?

lsusb # See if there is “0403:6001 Future Technology Devices International, Ltd FT232 USB-Serial (UART) IC”

dmesg # See what happen when kobuki usb is plugged.

  • Is there /dev/kobuki?

rosrun kobuki_ftdi create_udev_rules

  • Is Kobuki serial number correct?

sudo ./get_serial_number # in the directory of kobuki_ftdi scripts

Check if it is different from below

Device #0
  Manufacturer : Yujin Robot
  Product      : iClebo Kobuki
  Serial Number: kobuki_A601D86G

If it is different,

sudo ./flasher # in the directory of kobuki_ftdi scripts

Then check the serial again.
