public class HemissonSonarDrone
extends Controller

A drone controller for a Hemisson with a sonar sensor. The sonar sensor is set to the maximum number of echos and the maximum distance. It also creates a DiferentialDrive effector to allow the robot to be controlled via the GUI.

To run this example:

1. Complete the Basic dLife Installation.
2. Complete the Hemisson Setup.
   
   
3. Launch the dlife.robot.gui.controlcenter
4. Select dlife.robot.hemisson.Hemisson in the "Robot:" drop down list.
5. Click the button next to the "Controller:" label.
6. Navigate to the dLifeDist/examples/dlife/robot/hemisson/ directory.
7. Choose the HemissonSonarDrone.class file.
8. Click the "Start Up" button.
9. Choose the connection mechanism to be used:
   • Serial Port: Use the file chooser to select the device file to which the Hemisson is connected.
   • Bluetooth: Select the desired Hemisson from the drop down list. You may optionally associate a name with the robot's bluetooth address using the text field and the "Set" button.
10. Click "Connect"
11. The Hemisson will beep and flash its lights to indicate that a connection has been established and the GUI components for the Motion and Sonar will appear in the ControlCenter.
