public class PioTriangle
extends FiniteStateController

The Pioneer uses its odometry to move in the shape of an (almost) equilateral triangle. This is also a demonstration of a simple finite state controller.

To run this example:

1. Complete the Basic dLife Installation.
2. Complete the Pioneer Setup.
3. Start the PioneerServer.
   
   
4. Launch the dlife.robot.gui.controlcenter
5. Select dlife.robot.pioneer.Pioneer in the "Robot:" drop down list.
6. Click the button next to the "Controller:" label.
7. Navigate to the dLifeDist/examples/dlife/robot/pioneer/ directory.
8. Choose the PioTriangle.class file.
9. Click the "Start Up" button.
10. Enter the IP and Port number for the PioneerServer in the dialog that appears.
11. Click "Connect"
12. GUI displays for the sensors and effectors being used will then appear in the ControlCenter.
13. Click "Run"
