Package Description

Utilities for flashing and enabling Kobuki's USB connection. This package contains tools for flashing the Kobuki's FTDI chip (usually done at the factory). The special firmware for the FTDI chip (USB to serial converter) enables it to appear as /dev/kobuki on the user's PC.

  • Does kobuki stream data?

cat /dev/kobuki # check if any data stream happens

  • Does kobuki appear as USB device?

lsusb # See if there is “0403:6001 Future Technology Devices International, Ltd FT232 USB-Serial (UART) IC”

dmesg # See what happen when kobuki usb is plugged.

  • Is there /dev/kobuki?

rosrun kobuki_ftdi create_udev_rules

  • Is Kobuki serial number correct?

sudo ./get_serial_number # in the directory of kobuki_ftdi scripts

Check if it is different from below

Device #0
  Manufacturer : Yujin Robot
  Product      : iClebo Kobuki
  Serial Number: kobuki_A601D86G

If it is different,

sudo ./flasher # in the directory of kobuki_ftdi scripts

Then check the serial again.
