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?

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

  Serial Number: kobuki_A505QO28

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.

# Flash
> sudo <install_location>/lib/kobuki_ftdi/flasher
# Check the serial number again
> sudo <install_path>/lib/kobuki_ftdi/get_serial_number
