| − | For special configurations the standard configuration files of a robot may need to be changed. This article explains how to do this.
| + | #REDIRECT [[Configuration Files Overview]] |
| − | | |
| − | The most relevant configuration files are the project configuration and the robot configuration.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Use a text editor (e.g. Notepad++) for editing the files, not Word or Wordpad.
| |
| − | | |
| − | = Warning =
| |
| − | * Changing files of the embedded control computer can cause irreversible damage, e.g. the control not starting or unexpected behavior of the robot.
| |
| − | * Do not change settings that you are unfamiliar with.
| |
| − | * Test the robot with a low override setting.
| |
| − | * Create a backup copy of the files before changing them.

| − | = Accessing configuration files =
| |
| − | | |
| − | If you are using a robot without embedded control (i.e. a robot that connects via USB or USB-to-CAN adapter) you will only need to change the CPRog/iRC configuration files. If your robot uses an embedded control (i.e. it is connected via Ethernet) you will change both the CPRog/iRC and TinyCtrl configuration files.
| |
| − | | |
| − | == CPRog/iRC ==
| |
| − | | |
| − | You will find the configuration files in the following sub-directories of the installation directory:
| |
| − | * Project configurations: Data\Projects\<category>\<type>.prj
| |
| − | * Robot configuration: Data\Robots\<category>\<type>.xml
| |
| − | | |
| − | == TinyCtrl ==
| |
| − | | |
| − | The TinyCtrl configuration files can either be accessed via CPRog/iRC (V12 or newer) or using a SFTP client.
| |
| − | | |
| − | After changing the confguration files the embedded control must be restarted, e.g. by turning the power off and on.

| − | === Via CPRog/iRC ===
| |
| − | [[File:CPRog_AccessConfigs.PNG|thumb]] | |
| − | The configuration files of the embedded control can be load and written using version 12 or newer of CPRog/iRC.
| |
| − | * Connect CPRog/iRC to the robot
| |
| − | * Click File -> Access Remote Configuration
| |
| − | * Click Load... to load a configuration file or Write... to write it back to the control (see screenshot)
| |
| − | | |
| − | === Via a SFTP client ===
| |
| − | | |
| − | The article [FTP and putty Access] (sections 1 and 2) gives an introduction on how to use a SFTP client for accessing files on the embedded control. Newer embedded controls may require a password, in that case enter "robot" as both user and password.
