LRV Configuration Files

	Contents Overview File Syntax aLRVController.config File Overview There a a few files that can be used to adjust basic settings and capabilities for the LRV and controller without changing the underlying software. These files are read in at startup and the settings are used to establish IP port, capabilities, etc. Contents File Syntax Each of these contains a series of key value pairs. The keys are all single names with no spaces. There is then and equal sign and then the value. Comments are any line that starts with a # character till the end of the line. Comments are ignored on import of the configuration file. Contents aLRVController.config File This file lives on the LRV controller at /home/acroname/aBinary where the binaries for the LRV controller reside. This file is loaded by the init process when the controller is booted so a reboot is required when making changes before they take effect. Here is a basic aLRVController.config file: lrv_address = 192.168.1.209 lrv_api_timeout = 1000 video_mode = 10 audio_volume = 75 # 0-100 mic_gain = 1 # 0 or 1 control_loop_delay = 80 server_audio_port = 8051 server_video_port = 8053 control_audio_port = 0 # 8052 lrv_address This is the TCP/IP address of the LRV you would like to control. With multiple LRV's, you can switch this to change to a different robot on the network. server_video_port This is the TCP/IP port number for the video transfer. If this is non-zero, the port is sent to the robot and the robot will use this port to broadcast the video transmission using UDP to specified port. Here, the IP address destination for the video is implicitly the controller. When this value is set to zero, not video is sent from the robot to the controller. server_audio_port This is the TCP/IP port number for the robot-to-controller audio transfer. If this is non-zero, the port is sent to the robot and the robot will use this port to broadcast the audio transmission using UDP to specified port. Here, the IP address destination for the audio is implicitly the controller. When this value is set to zero, not audio is sent from the robot to the controller.
