hi welcome back to another Mar robits hi welcome back to another Mar robits motion control video tutorial today motion control video tutorial today motion control video tutorial today we're going to take a look at setting up we're going to take a look at setting up we're going to take a look at setting up the iPad tracker app with our robot this the iPad tracker app with our robot this the iPad tracker app with our robot this video we're going to do in Windows uh video we're going to do in Windows uh video we're going to do in Windows uh there'll be another one coming out there'll be another one coming out there'll be another one coming out shortly in Linux where the instructions shortly in Linux where the instructions shortly in Linux where the instructions are slightly different um obviously in a are slightly different um obviously in a are slightly different um obviously in a Windows environment we're using in time Windows environment we're using in time Windows environment we're using in time to control our Sixaxis robot and in to control our Sixaxis robot and in to control our Sixaxis robot and in order to then connect to the iPad we order to then connect to the iPad we order to then connect to the iPad we need to essentially form a bridge out of need to essentially form a bridge out of need to essentially form a bridge out of of the intime controlled Network into a of the intime controlled Network into a of the intime controlled Network into a more open Windows more open Windows more open Windows area we also need to connect the iPad area we also need to connect the iPad area we also need to connect the iPad over a Wi-Fi uh Network and now you can over a Wi-Fi uh Network and now you can over a Wi-Fi uh Network and now you can try to do that over your Studios or your try to do that over your Studios or your try to do that over your Studios or your officer's Wi-Fi but uh we found that officer's Wi-Fi but uh we found that officer's Wi-Fi but uh we found that this can be fraught with issues due to this can be fraught with issues due to this can be fraught with issues due to you know the internet other devices you know the internet other devices you know the internet other devices other IP Rangers so we do actually other IP Rangers so we do actually other IP Rangers so we do actually recommend uh small Smart Hub or smart recommend uh small Smart Hub or smart recommend uh small Smart Hub or smart router such as this one um that can be router such as this one um that can be router such as this one um that can be very simply uh set up very easily set up very simply uh set up very easily set up very simply uh set up very easily set up uh and it essentially forms a small uh and it essentially forms a small uh and it essentially forms a small Wi-Fi network between your flare system Wi-Fi network between your flare system Wi-Fi network between your flare system the robot and the iPad app so this is the robot and the iPad app so this is the robot and the iPad app so this is actually perfect for using this this actually perfect for using this this actually perfect for using this this Tracker Tracker Tracker app so um let's Jump Right In so first app so um let's Jump Right In so first app so um let's Jump Right In so first uh step is to configure in time with the uh step is to configure in time with the uh step is to configure in time with the in time bridge I'm using a Cabot mini in time bridge I'm using a Cabot mini in time bridge I'm using a Cabot mini here um today here um today here um today and this actually already has the in and this actually already has the in and this actually already has the in time Bridge set up because of the way time Bridge set up because of the way time Bridge set up because of the way that we talk to the UR controller but that we talk to the UR controller but that we talk to the UR controller but for the benefit of everyone else uh for the benefit of everyone else uh for the benefit of everyone else uh we're just going to go through all the we're just going to go through all the we're just going to go through all the steps um so here on in time on the steps um so here on in time on the steps um so here on in time on the intime icon we're going to right click intime icon we're going to right click intime icon we're going to right click and then go to in time and then go to in time and then go to in time configuration and then node management configuration and then node management configuration and then node management and then the network tab up here uh so and then the network tab up here uh so and then the network tab up here uh so here under Nick configuration uh we have here under Nick configuration uh we have here under Nick configuration uh we have the first instance which is the uh the the first instance which is the uh the the first instance which is the uh the network uh port on your computer or network uh port on your computer or network uh port on your computer or laptop that will be assigned to in time laptop that will be assigned to in time laptop that will be assigned to in time and then secondly we have this ven zero and then secondly we have this ven zero and then secondly we have this ven zero thing which is the virtual in time thing which is the virtual in time thing which is the virtual in time Bridge um so we click on the the three Bridge um so we click on the the three Bridge um so we click on the the three buttons or the three dots there on the buttons or the three dots there on the buttons or the three dots there on the right um and here again here they are right um and here again here they are right um and here again here they are listed uh now if you don't have this ven listed uh now if you don't have this ven listed uh now if you don't have this ven zero thing you would be clicking on ADD zero thing you would be clicking on ADD zero thing you would be clicking on ADD I'm going to just hit I'm going to just hit I'm going to just hit edit we have a drop down menu here at edit we have a drop down menu here at edit we have a drop down menu here at the top uh and near the bottom there's the top uh and near the bottom there's the top uh and near the bottom there's the virtual ethernet uh Network so we're the virtual ethernet uh Network so we're the virtual ethernet uh Network so we're going to select that and then we're going to select that and then we're going to select that and then we're going to give it an IP address which is going to give it an IP address which is going to give it an IP address which is 19216811 199 so that is essentially the 19216811 199 so that is essentially the 19216811 199 so that is essentially the in time side of the in time side of the in time side of the bridge click okay and then you would hit bridge click okay and then you would hit bridge click okay and then you would hit save on that uh I already have it set up save on that uh I already have it set up save on that uh I already have it set up so I'm just going to close that and then so I'm just going to close that and then so I'm just going to close that and then exit that uh I'm going to then go to my exit that uh I'm going to then go to my exit that uh I'm going to then go to my computer's network settings uh and here essentially this is settings uh and here essentially this is the windows side of the intime bridge so the windows side of the intime bridge so the windows side of the intime bridge so we're going to click on this um tenaces we're going to click on this um tenaces we're going to click on this um tenaces virtual ethernet adapter uh we're going virtual ethernet adapter uh we're going virtual ethernet adapter uh we're going to add go to the properties and then to add go to the properties and then to add go to the properties and then we're going to define a IP address of we're going to define a IP address of we're going to define a IP address of 192.168.1.200 so this is the window side 192.168.1.200 so this is the window side 192.168.1.200 so this is the window side of the in time Bridge uh with a subnet of the in time Bridge uh with a subnet of the in time Bridge uh with a subnet mask mask mask I'm going to close I'm going to close I'm going to close that and then finally we need to um edit that and then finally we need to um edit that and then finally we need to um edit a config file uh that in time uses in a config file uh that in time uses in a config file uh that in time uses in order to create the bridge so I'm going order to create the bridge so I'm going order to create the bridge so I'm going to open to open to open notepad right click on that and run as notepad right click on that and run as notepad right click on that and run as administrator uh I'm going to administrator uh I'm going to administrator uh I'm going to open go to open uh and then this is the open go to open uh and then this is the open go to open uh and then this is the path that we want to open uh on the C path that we want to open uh on the C path that we want to open uh on the C drive program data tenaces in time node drive program data tenaces in time node drive program data tenaces in time node a etc and want to open the filter up to a etc and want to open the filter up to a etc and want to open the filter up to all files and you will see a bunch of all files and you will see a bunch of all files and you will see a bunch of small config files now if for some small config files now if for some small config files now if for some reason you don't see these folders it reason you don't see these folders it reason you don't see these folders it could be that uh you don't have um it could be that uh you don't have um it could be that uh you don't have um it enabled to see hidden hidden items or enabled to see hidden hidden items or enabled to see hidden hidden items or hidden folders so if you open your file hidden folders so if you open your file hidden folders so if you open your file explorer and then go to view make sure explorer and then go to view make sure explorer and then go to view make sure that hidden items is checked up that hidden items is checked up that hidden items is checked up here um so the file you want to here um so the file you want to here um so the file you want to open is net user.on fig so we're going open is net user.on fig so we're going open is net user.on fig so we're going to open to open to open that um and you can see there's a bunch that um and you can see there's a bunch that um and you can see there's a bunch of commands there and they all have this of commands there and they all have this of commands there and they all have this sort of pound symbol or number sign at sort of pound symbol or number sign at sort of pound symbol or number sign at the at the beginning which means they're the at the beginning which means they're the at the beginning which means they're not not not active so what we're interested in is active so what we're interested in is active so what we're interested in is these two lines these two lines these two lines here and also this line here so we want here and also this line here so we want here and also this line here so we want to remove the pound symbol or number to remove the pound symbol or number to remove the pound symbol or number symbol uh or hash uh we want to remove symbol uh or hash uh we want to remove symbol uh or hash uh we want to remove that symbol from those three that symbol from those three that symbol from those three lines um and then make sure you save lines um and then make sure you save lines um and then make sure you save that and close that and close that and close it okay so uh that's that for setting up it okay so uh that's that for setting up it okay so uh that's that for setting up in time now in terms of setting up your in time now in terms of setting up your in time now in terms of setting up your router as I already explained uh this router as I already explained uh this router as I already explained uh this can be easily sourced on Amazon eBay or can be easily sourced on Amazon eBay or can be easily sourced on Amazon eBay or Best Buy or any such supplier it will Best Buy or any such supplier it will Best Buy or any such supplier it will most likely arrive uh with an IP address most likely arrive uh with an IP address most likely arrive uh with an IP address predefined that's not um on the flare predefined that's not um on the flare predefined that's not um on the flare range uh which is range uh which is range uh which is 192.168.1 do something so what you will 192.168.1 do something so what you will 192.168.1 do something so what you will need to do is you'll probably need to need to do is you'll probably need to need to do is you'll probably need to grab another laptop or PC um and just grab another laptop or PC um and just grab another laptop or PC um and just directly connect to it with a with just directly connect to it with a with just directly connect to it with a with just a simple network cable between the a simple network cable between the a simple network cable between the laptop and this router um you open a web laptop and this router um you open a web laptop and this router um you open a web browser you punch in the predefined IP browser you punch in the predefined IP browser you punch in the predefined IP address that you're given with the address that you're given with the address that you're given with the documentation of this thing documentation of this thing documentation of this thing and then you'll be able to access a and then you'll be able to access a and then you'll be able to access a dashboard where you can Define um you dashboard where you can Define um you dashboard where you can Define um you know any passwords you can reset you can know any passwords you can reset you can know any passwords you can reset you can change your IP address and so on uh this change your IP address and so on uh this change your IP address and so on uh this should all be in the should all be in the should all be in the documentation uh of of this um this documentation uh of of this um this documentation uh of of this um this product when you get it from the product when you get it from the product when you get it from the shop so I'm going to open the browser shop so I'm going to open the browser shop so I'm going to open the browser here and um I've already changed the IP here and um I've already changed the IP here and um I've already changed the IP address to address to address to um 192.168.1.5 so I'm going to open the 192.168.1.5 so I'm going to open the browser and then um enter that it will browser and then um enter that it will browser and then um enter that it will bring me to a login bring me to a login bring me to a login screen and for that then you will uh screen and for that then you will uh screen and for that then you will uh need a password which again will be need a password which again will be need a password which again will be provided as part of the documentation of provided as part of the documentation of provided as part of the documentation of the the the product I'll you you'll end up on a product I'll you you'll end up on a product I'll you you'll end up on a dashboard like this um different dashboard like this um different dashboard like this um different products the dashboards might look products the dashboards might look products the dashboards might look different but essentially they all do different but essentially they all do different but essentially they all do the same thing um you can basically the same thing um you can basically the same thing um you can basically change various things about this router change various things about this router change various things about this router so what we want to do so what we want to do so what we want to do is we want to go to wireless settings um is we want to go to wireless settings um is we want to go to wireless settings um so you can give the router a name or or so you can give the router a name or or so you can give the router a name or or the network a name so um we have changed the network a name so um we have changed the network a name so um we have changed it to Moco it to Moco it to Moco WiFi and then you can also give it a WiFi and then you can also give it a WiFi and then you can also give it a password which again is the password not password which again is the password not password which again is the password not the password that you just use to log the password that you just use to log the password that you just use to log into this page but the password that into this page but the password that into this page but the password that other devices will use use to be able to other devices will use use to be able to other devices will use use to be able to use to be able to access this router so use to be able to access this router so use to be able to access this router so uh again we've set this to Moco 23 4 now uh again we've set this to Moco 23 4 now uh again we've set this to Moco 23 4 now one flare uses these names and this name one flare uses these names and this name one flare uses these names and this name and this password by default so if you and this password by default so if you and this password by default so if you use mocho Wifi and Moco 1234 you don't use mocho Wifi and Moco 1234 you don't use mocho Wifi and Moco 1234 you don't need to do anything need to do anything need to do anything else if you do want to call it something else if you do want to call it something else if you do want to call it something else that's totally fine but you do need else that's totally fine but you do need else that's totally fine but you do need to put the information in your flare in to put the information in your flare in to put the information in your flare in file so that uh um flare knows the information so if you do that you would information so if you do that you would need to add it like then and and save that that way when then and and save that that way when flare tries to access the router it will flare tries to access the router it will flare tries to access the router it will know what it is if this information is know what it is if this information is know what it is if this information is not there then flare will assume the not there then flare will assume the not there then flare will assume the name of the network is Moco Wi-Fi and name of the network is Moco Wi-Fi and name of the network is Moco Wi-Fi and the password is Moco 1234 uh of course the other thing that's 1234 uh of course the other thing that's really important is you will need to really important is you will need to really important is you will need to change the IP address if it's not change the IP address if it's not change the IP address if it's not already on the already on the already on the right um right um right um on the right range so again there should on the right range so again there should on the right range so again there should be an option for that you click click be an option for that you click click be an option for that you click click apply and then it will simply change the apply and then it will simply change the apply and then it will simply change the IP address of the device so once that's done we can go to device so once that's done we can go to our um iPad so if we go to our um the our um iPad so if we go to our um the our um iPad so if we go to our um the Wi-Fi page uh you'll see I've now Wi-Fi page uh you'll see I've now Wi-Fi page uh you'll see I've now connected to Moco Wi-Fi which is the um connected to Moco Wi-Fi which is the um connected to Moco Wi-Fi which is the um device name of that router that I've device name of that router that I've device name of that router that I've just uh defined uh and if I go onto the just uh defined uh and if I go onto the just uh defined uh and if I go onto the information tab there uh and scroll down information tab there uh and scroll down information tab there uh and scroll down a bit uh you can see that there's an a bit uh you can see that there's an a bit uh you can see that there's an option called private Wi-Fi address and option called private Wi-Fi address and option called private Wi-Fi address and that's been turned off also limit IP that's been turned off also limit IP that's been turned off also limit IP address tracking has been turned address tracking has been turned address tracking has been turned off uh the IP address of the iPad I can off uh the IP address of the iPad I can off uh the IP address of the iPad I can see here which is see here which is see here which is 192.168.1.1 one5 and obviously the 192.168.1.1 one5 and obviously the 192.168.1.1 one5 and obviously the subnet subnet mask and the rout which is subnet subnet mask and the rout which is subnet subnet mask and the rout which is 192.168.1.5 192.168.1.5 192.168.1.5 as uh we've just seen as uh we've just seen as uh we've just seen earlier um so that's all connected um so earlier um so that's all connected um so earlier um so that's all connected um so my iPad is now connected to the little my iPad is now connected to the little my iPad is now connected to the little router which forms um its own little router which forms um its own little router which forms um its own little Wi-Fi uh Network so I'm now going to Wi-Fi uh Network so I'm now going to Wi-Fi uh Network so I'm now going to fire up the iPad track uh the tracker flare now in flare now in flare I'm going to go to the setups page flare I'm going to go to the setups page flare I'm going to go to the setups page page external page external page external devices uh and I'm going to just turn devices uh and I'm going to just turn devices uh and I'm going to just turn that off for a minute uh and under data that off for a minute uh and under data that off for a minute uh and under data input I have input I have input I have tracker and I have the IP address tracker and I have the IP address tracker and I have the IP address defined as the IP address of the iPad defined as the IP address of the iPad defined as the IP address of the iPad and I have to find the port number which and I have to find the port number which and I have to find the port number which it needs so I'm going to save it needs so I'm going to save it needs so I'm going to save that then I can go to sfx that then I can go to sfx that then I can go to sfx tracker um and then to connection so tracker um and then to connection so tracker um and then to connection so here I can see the root IP which is the here I can see the root IP which is the here I can see the root IP which is the IP address of the uh PC laptop under in IP address of the uh PC laptop under in IP address of the uh PC laptop under in time uh the port number and the flare 7 time uh the port number and the flare 7 time uh the port number and the flare 7 IP which is the uh IP address of the in IP which is the uh IP address of the in IP which is the uh IP address of the in time bridge on the Windows time bridge on the Windows time bridge on the Windows side uh I'm going to click on the Wi-Fi side uh I'm going to click on the Wi-Fi side uh I'm going to click on the Wi-Fi tab uh this is the default uh that it tab uh this is the default uh that it tab uh this is the default uh that it assumes because I haven't defined assumes because I haven't defined assumes because I haven't defined anything else in play in which is mocho anything else in play in which is mocho anything else in play in which is mocho Wi-Fi and Moco 1234 again if you do uh Wi-Fi and Moco 1234 again if you do uh Wi-Fi and Moco 1234 again if you do uh want to want to want to want to call the network something else want to call the network something else want to call the network something else then you can do that um and if you put then you can do that um and if you put then you can do that um and if you put it in the any file then it'll pick it up it in the any file then it'll pick it up it in the any file then it'll pick it up here and you won't need to enter it in here and you won't need to enter it in here and you won't need to enter it in separately um so now I'm going to go separately um so now I'm going to go separately um so now I'm going to go back to my back to my back to my iPad and under the um under the Cog iPad and under the um under the Cog iPad and under the um under the Cog wheel on the right I can then go to wheel on the right I can then go to wheel on the right I can then go to network settings and then I can read the network settings and then I can read the network settings and then I can read the QR for network settings so I'm going to QR for network settings so I'm going to QR for network settings so I'm going to go and do that it'll then ask me to join go and do that it'll then ask me to join go and do that it'll then ask me to join the network which I'm going to do the network which I'm going to do the network which I'm going to do and then I'm and then I'm and then I'm done and now when I go into done and now when I go into done and now when I go into flare or into the the tracker app I can flare or into the the tracker app I can flare or into the the tracker app I can see that when I move my iPad around I see that when I move my iPad around I see that when I move my iPad around I can see the numbers changing on the can see the numbers changing on the can see the numbers changing on the tracker control screen which means that tracker control screen which means that tracker control screen which means that the iPad is now connected to flare and the iPad is now connected to flare and the iPad is now connected to flare and it receives the positional information it receives the positional information it receives the positional information from the iPad back into flare from the iPad back into flare from the iPad back into flare so that's the first major step in uh so that's the first major step in uh so that's the first major step in uh setting up the tracker app so that setting up the tracker app so that setting up the tracker app so that completes this video and in the next completes this video and in the next completes this video and in the next video we're going to take a look at the video we're going to take a look at the video we're going to take a look at the uh live view and the live control
