flask_server

To trigger the Python Spot SDK from triggering a button in VR, follow these steps:

• Add an endpoint in the Flask server like app.route and trigger a python Spot SDK command

• Invoke that endpoint from within a game object through the C# script associated with that object

• Connect to RLAB WiFi

• Run ESTOP:

  • Open rosetta terminal
  • source my_spot_env/bin/activate
  • cd ~/spot-sdk/python/examples/estop
  • export BOSDYN_CLIENT_USERNAME=user
  • export BOSDYN_CLIENT_PASSWORD=bigxxxxxxxxxxxba
  • arch -arm64 python3 estop_nogui.py <IP_ADDRESS>

• In a new terminal, run the flask server

  • Depending on which Spot we are using, change the IP address on the server
  • source my_spot_env/bin/activate
  • export BOSDYN_CLIENT_USERNAME=user
  • export BOSDYN_CLIENT_PASSWORD=bigxxxxxxxxxxxba
  • arch -arm64 python3 main.py <IP_ADDRESS>

• Other notes

  • IMP: Undock Spot first if the code involves making Spot sit
  • If you use the tablet to control Spot, first restart Spot before running the Flask server to claim the Spot lease (OR) click "release control" on the tablet
