Here you can find updates for the TinyCtrl robot control software for embedded Linux devices. Also the current documentation is available below.

Download current TinyCtrl version

  • Software: Download the latest TinyCtrl binary. Preliminary Version! This binary can be uploaded to the embedded robot control

How to upgrade

Extended documentation is following.

  • Download the latest TinyCtrl binary, store the binary e.g. in c:/CPRog/Data/Download/
  • Start the robolink-DCi robot
  • Connect both computers, i.e. the embedded linux computer and the Windows PC, with an ethernet cable. Use the right LAN port on the embedded Linux Board.
    • The Windows computer needs to be set to an available static IP in the address range 192.168.3.0/24 such as 192.168.3.2.
    • (The Linux embedded computer has IP 192.168.3.11, subnet 255.255.255.0 by default.)
  • Start the CPRog software (Version from June 3rd 2018 or later)
  • Verify that the project "robolink_5DOF_SV_AE.prj" or "robolink_5Axis_Small_AE" is loaded in CPRog.
  • Press the "Connect" button in CPRog
  • Choose the menu button "Upper-left-circle --> Embedded Robot Control --> Download Binary"
  • Choose the current TinyCtrl binary that you have just downloaded
  • CPRog now stops the TinyCtrl binary, which is running on the robolink-DCi linux board and downloads the new version from the Windows PC to the linux board.
  • Choose the menu button "Upper-left-circle --> Embedded Robot Control --> Start Control" to start the new TinyCtrl binary.
  • To verify the TinyCtrl version that is installed on the linux board, you can check the logfile on the linux board from the Teach Pendant (touch screen remote).
