Building the pleo program
« on: January 07, 2014, 10:20:45 AM »

After you write the code for your Pleo in a NotePad file, how do you actually build the Pleo program(the one that the Pleo can read)? I have writtten a program and used the build.bat program to create the program, but after it built, I checked the "build" folder, and evertyhing was fine(there were two .usf files). After I inserted the USB device in the slot on Pleo's stomach, and started the Pleo, he would simply block, so I'm assuming that there was a problem with the booting program(possibly the.bat file). For further reference, I have used this tutorial http://ice-web.cc.gatech.edu/dl/?q=node/579, steps 01-08. Anyone has an idea on what could have possibly went wrong? Why? How do I actually buil the Pleo program?

You need a .urf file for pleo to run (see step 7).  So something didn't build right.

Yes, I opened that .urf with NotePad, wrote the code and then I saved it. However, the robot simply doesn't boot :/

the .urf is the compiled program.  It is not editable with NotePad.  If you opened a .urf file it should look like complete gibberish and non-readable symbols.  The files you should be editing code should all be .p files.

All the info is in the PDK, there are also some scripts in the software section.
