Prepare the CPM Lab

The Main PC is the one to which the cables from the ceiling (IPS and lab cam) are connected. It is the third PC from the entrance door when you go straight, the one that is bigger than the others.

  1. Start the NUCs and switch with the white remote control by turning on the wall plug number 1.
  2. Start the router with the white remote control by turning on the wall plug number 2.
  3. Start the Main PC Computation Hardware. 
  4. Log in as cpm-stud.
  5. Build your desired version of the CPM Lab.
  6. Start the LCC.

Experiment

...

Simulated

Make sure that your HLC works in simulation. Simulate your desired vehicles, choose your desired script and follow this guide to start the experiment. All real vehicles need to be turned off for this, as they share the DDS interface with simulated vehicles.

Note

Always ensure that the vehicles' batteries are loaded. If the battery percentage drops below 40%, charge the vehicle after your experiment.


Info
titleTroubleshooting
  • If the Main PC does not start, make sure the power bar to which the PC is connected is switched on.
  • If you do not see a login screen this most likely because the login screen is shown either on the big screen on the wall or the screen on your left. You can either unplug the second screen or turn the corresponding screen on (worst case, turn on both).
  • If you encounter any problems during the experiment, refer to the diagnosis-tab. It can give a first idea where to look for errors.

Info
titleFun Fact

You cannot use the "Central Routing" example for the distributed calcuation, as its purpose is to be calculated centralized (that why it is called CENTRAL routing;)).

If you upload it on the NUC, each NUC would calculate the trajectory and collisions for only local IDs and would have no knowledge about the neighbours. So collisions would be quite possible.

titleNice to know

The Matlab version on the NUCs can be selected from the installed ones using the startup script. See Specifying the matlab version for HLCs on the NUCs.
