Command Line Interface (CLI) for RobotOps

Gort - Command Line Interface For RobotOps

Gort (http://gort.io) is a Command Line Toolkit for RobotOps. Gort provides tools to scan for connected devices, upload firmware, and more.

Gort is written in the Go programming language (http://golang.org) for maximum speed and portability.

Want to use Golang to program your robots? Check out our open source robotics framework Gobot (http://gobot.io).

Want to use Javascript on Robots? Check out Cylon.js (http://cylonjs.com)

Want to use Ruby on robots? Check out Artoo (http://artoo.io)

Getting Started

We now have precompiled binaries! You can also build from source.

The Gort CLI provides many useful features on many hardware platforms, and has no other dependencies. You install Gort separately from any framework, which means you can use it to program Arduinos with the Firmata firmware also compatible with Cylon.js, Gobot, Artoo, & many other libraries.

Download

Just want to download a binary for OSX, Windows, and Linux? Go to our web site at http://gort.io/documentation/getting_started/downloads/ for the latest release.

Using Homebrew on OSX? You can install using:

brew install hybridgroup/tools/gort

gort's Issues

gort arduino scan doesn't work.

I test the gort in my Ubuntu 14.04,it works well, the only problem is why

gort arduino scan

doesn't work ?

Compatibility with Arduino Due

Please take a look at this as it is a confirmed issue.

Had to resort to Arduino IDE to load firmata.

thanks

gort arduino upload firmata fails

When i try to run gort arduino upload firmata /dev/ttyACM0 on antergos i get this error message:

signal: floating point exception (core dumped)

i use an arduino uno r3 smd

avrdude CLI parameters for different Arduino products

I'm not a Go developer, but a quick look at the source tells me gort Arduino support is limited to the UNO or other boards with the ATmega328 chip. This covers the popular basic boards, but leaves out everything else.

The avrdude options needed to make this work are -c, which tells avrdude what programmer to use and -p, which indicates the part number of the chip on the board.

It would be great if there were an option in gort like -board mega2560, which would let the user refer to the board by product name rather than the chip. gort would parse that option and then give the correct parameters to avrdude.

To that end, I'm posting all the combinations I know to be working here. This covers basically the entire product line from the Diecimila (2007) onward, except for the Due, which is ARM-based and requires bossac instead of avrdude. That's another issue.

Additionally the -b option should be left out. avrdude varies the default baud based on the chip, and I've yet to see an error solved by explicitly setting it.

The Parameters

UNO / Ethernet / Nano v3.0 / Mini v5 / Late Duemilanove / Fio / Any with ATmega328/328p chip:

-c arduino -p m328p

Nano v2.3 or earlier / Mini v4 or earlier aka Stamp / Early Duemilanove / Diecimila / Any with ATmega168 chip:

-c arduino -p m168

Mega aka Mega1280 (Old Model) / Any with ATmega1280 chip:

-c arduino -p m1280

Mega2560 (Current Model) / Mega ADK / Any with ATmega2560 chip:

-c stk500v2 -p m2560

Leonardo / Robot / Esplora / Micro / Yun / Any with ATmega32u4 chip:

-c avr109 -p atmega32u4

Baud Reset for 32u4-based Boards

Boards based on the 32u4 require the system to set the baud rate to 1200 prior to running avrdude.

On OS X: stty -f /dev/tty.whatever 1200
On Linux: stty -F /dev/tty.whatever 1200
Not sure how to do this on Windows.

This is an odd quirk in that, once you run the command once, avrdude will run successfully on that device until the machine reboots (even across disconnects and reconnects). However, it does no harm to run it prior to each call to avrdude, which is what I have done in the past.

Possible Implementation

That's a lot of boards, and there's overlap between the m168 and m328 for the older products.

Since m328p is the most popular, and m168 is no longer built into new boards, gort should default to the m328, requiring users of older boards with a m168, to know this and specify so. All other boards would need to be specified explicitly.

The gort options could look something like this:

-board m328 | uno | nano | mini | ethernet | fio (default option)
-board m168 | diecimila | stamp
-board mega | mega1280
-board mega2560 | megaADK
-board leonardo | robot | micro | esplora

All the parameter values on a specific line would produce the exact same output parameters for avrdude, corresponding with my findings above, but could be accessed by different names for ease of use.

Lastly, the Mini and Stamp have never had USB ports built in. They were intended to be programmed via a USB-to-serial adapter, then disconnected and run standalone. Since this doesn't fit with Artoo/Cylon/Gobot, it's debatable whether they should be included. But if gort is designed to be a general-purpose flashing utility, I think they should.

wifi

I am wondering about if I can update a robot remotely.

If the robot has a WiFi chip, and its connected to a land network, then I can forward updates to it from a computer on the network.

If I have to only use Bluetooth, that the local land computer can forward over Bluetooth to it.

Any ideas / suggestions.

Unable to upload firmata to arduino duemilanove

I have a arduino duemilanove, and im unable to upload firmata to the board using gort on my OSX machine . Im however able to upload firmata to the board using the arduino ide.
I tried doing gort arduino upload firmata /dev/cu.usbserial-A700fmBa and also gort arduino upload firmata /dev/tty.usbserial-A700fmBa.In both the cases i get the error avrdude: stk500_getsync() attempt 1 of 10: not in sync: resp=0x86.
Any way to fix this ?

Thanks.

Does the tool support the device Digispark ATTiny85 for uploading firmware?

gort arduino firmata relay on by default

After I uploaded the firmata firmware to my UNO, everytime I power it up, the normally opened relay always got turned on immidiately.

How can I make it so it won't turned on immidiately (off by default)? Should I make custom firmata firmware? If so, how do I do that?

Thanks.

Limited options when running Gort

I'm trying to run Gort on OSX 10.11 and I'm getting a very limited selection of options, specifically only 'help' and 'version'. When I run gort -V in Terminal I get 0.0.0 which doesn't seem right and gort -h just yields the same options below. What's going on here? I installed Gort with npm and it didn't give me any errors.

Usage: gort [options]

Options:

-h, --help     output usage information
-V, --version  output the version number

gort not detected MAC

When trying to use gort I get following message

Documentation: gort digispark install does more than just downloading the software

Hi,

Minor issue.

gort's help text says:

gort digispark install # installs software to upload firmware to Digispark
gort digispark upload [littlewire] # uploads firmware to Digispark

but actually go digispark install does both steps in one: install software to upload firmware to Digispark, AND upload firmware (littlewire) to Digispark.

So the actual behavior is not in line with the help text.

Arduino Mega ADK: Is compatible with Gort?

Hi,

I have problems when I try to upload firmata inside my arduino Mega ADK. When I try to upload firmata to my board, like this (in Linuxmint):

$ sudo gort arduino upload firmata /dev/ttyACM0

It shows the next error message:

avrdude: stk500_recv(): programmer is not responding

When I see this error in Arduino IDE, the solution was change the board in the corresponding menu. But in Gort, how I can change the board type? Or is it simply that Mega ADK is incompatible with Gort? Thanks for your answers. All of them are welcome.

Cannot connect to BB-8 Sphero. Beleive it is a security level issue and/or random address

I am trying to use artoo (ruby library for interfacing with various projects, including Sphero). Their documentation suggests using gort to pair/connect to the device, which (as I understand) should create a /dev/rfcomm0 device for artoo to connect to. Their documentation appears to be out of date (since it tells you to pair, but there doesn't appear to be a pair subcommand anymore). In any case, when I try to simply connect as follows, I get "Cannot create connection. Input/output error":

sudo gort bluetooth connect <ADDR> hci0

I found that using gatttool, I can connect only with I set my address to random and security level to medium.

gatttool -l medium -t random <ADDR> -I

This lets me connect to the BB-8 (although I haven't tried doing more than printing characteristics because I'm not familiar enough with the system), but it doesn't create a /dev/rfcomm0 (or other device) I can point artoo at.

Is there something I'm missing? I assume there currently is no way to set the security level, and I assume it defaults to low. Is that correct? If so, what would it take to support other security levels and/or random addresses?

Add udev rule for arduino101/tinytile

Gort needs to be able to add the udev rule for Arduino101/TinyTile:

hybridgroup/gobot#437

in the same fashion that it can for Digispark.

Error uploading firmata to arduino

I followed the steps shown here and I got the following error.

Maybe I did something wrong, but in this case there should be a proper error message telling me what I did wrong.

gort arduino upload error uploading Firmata to Intel Edison

I am using OS X 10.10.4, Intel Edison with Arduino breakout, and gort_0.3.0_darwin_amd64. Here is the output received going through this tutorial.

I have been able to upload modified Blink sketches using the Arduino IDE. But when I attempted to upload the Standard Firmata sketch from Examples, I received this output:

/Applications/ArduinoEdison.app/Contents/Java/libraries/Firmata/utility/EthernetClientStream.cpp:71:22: error: conversion from 'IPAddress' to 'unsigned int' is ambiguous
   if (this->localip!=localip)

Lastly, using Gort caused the device names for Edison/Arduino breakout to change. The Blink sketches were uploaded using /dev/cu.usbmodem1d113 which changed once Gort was run to /dev/cu.usbserial-AJ035DL1. At this point not even Blink sketches via Arduino IDE upload.

Any insight appreciated.

Uploading firmata to arduino: nothing happens (OS X)

Trying to upload firmata to arduino with

sudo gort arduino upload firmata /dev/tty.usbmodem1421

and nothing happens. How do I know what's wrong?

• OS X Yosemite 10.10.2
• Port works fine with Arduino IDE

How to install on OS X?

I downloaded gort 0.3.0 for a 64-bit Mac.

I then run the executable file in the downloaded folder, it opens up a new shell window, and then I get an pop-up warning (in iTerm2) saying:

Short-Lived Session Warning

Compatibility with SparkFun RedBoard

I assume this issue is linked to another issue (#21) that reports the inability to use a different 'style' of Arduino board. I have a bunch of RedBoards by SparkFun (which are Arduino compatible) that I am unable to use gort with in order to upload the Arduino firmata. When I try to run ./gort arduino upload /dev/tty.usbserial-A702MX5M, this is the output I receive:

I'm not too familiar with go, but I did poke around in the source, and it seems to be occurring on this line: https://github.com/hybridgroup/gort/blob/master/commands/arduino.go#L20

I'm here at RobotsConf, so if anyone wants to work together to debug this, I'd love to help get RedBoards working with gort!

Help installing gort using Homebrew

Hi,

I'm just trying to get artoo-sphero working, but I'm having trouble installing gort. I downloaded the zip folders, ran the exec files, but they just open a terminal screen that says process completed at the end. I'm not sure where to go next. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
