XView Base Usage

中文 | English

Before starting to control the chassis, we need to complete the connection of the chassis to the computer, turn on the power, etc.

Prepare to Start Using XView

XView helps you quickly diagnose whether a product is behaving abnormally.

Chrome only

Note: Only Chrome is supported. Other browsers may not work due to browser security policies (for example, an https page may block ws:// connections).

IPV4 only

To facilitate use, XView only supports IPV4 addresses. Simply put, you cannot use a cable to directly connect the robot and PC. They must both be connected to a router. (When using API control, IPV6 is supported, meaning you can directly connect the robot and PC without a switch or router.)

For reference only

Due to browser performance limitations, XView may experience stuttering on some machines and may not achieve the highest control frequency. This is normal, and performance requirements will be significantly reduced when using API control.

Additionally, XView is intended as a quick diagnostic tool for checking if a product is functioning normally. XView only provides the most basic control methods (for example, moving or rotating the base in one direction; viewing the current pose of the manipulator). Please refer to the API control section for advanced control functionality.

Prerequisites

  • Obtain the robot's IP address. Please refer to the controller documentation to obtain the controller's IP address.
  • Open XView.
  • Follow the browser prompt to allow the insecure connection.
  • Enter the IP address and port, for example ws://192.168.1.100:8439. (If the product page does not specify a port, the default is 8439.) (The language can be switched in the upper right corner) image.png
  • Click Connect, then click Go to Panel. image.png

Start Controlling the Chassis

  • After jumping, the chassis homepage will be displayed. Here we select to open the 3D Model and Robot Control interface.

  • After opening, the panel as shown will be displayed. Here we have not enabled the chassis, so we cannot move the chassis yet.

  • Press the API Control switch, and you can now press WSADQE to move the chassis. Again, XView is only for testing purposes. Due to JavaScript performance limitations and other reasons, even if the selected chassis supports multi-directional movement, XView does not support sending such instructions. If you need multi-directional movement, please use API control.

  • After moving, you can see the trajectory, attitude, etc. in the upper computer. When you are done, you need to turn off the API Control switch, and the chassis will return to the stop state. Otherwise, if you directly close the webpage, the chassis will enter the control instruction timeout protection.
