# Open Duck Mini Runtime ## Raspberry Pi zero 2W setup ### Install Raspberry Pi OS Download Raspberry Pi OS Lite (64-bit) from here : https://www.raspberrypi.com/software/operating-systems/ Follow the instructions here to install the OS on the SD card : https://www.raspberrypi.com/documentation/computers/getting-started.html With the Raspberry Pi Imager, you can pre-configure session, wifi and ssh. Do it like below : ![imager_setup](https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/7a4987b2-de83-41dd-ab7f-585259685f16) > Tip: I configure the rasp to connect to my phone's hotspot, this way I can connect to it from anywhere. ### Setup SSH (If not setup during the installation) When first booting on the rasp, you will need to connect a screen and a keyboard. The first thing you should do is connect to a wifi network and enable SSH. To do so, you can follow this guide : https://www.raspberrypi.com/documentation/computers/configuration.html#setting-up-wifi Then, you can connect to your rasp using SSH without having to plug a screen and a keyboard. ### Update the system and install necessary stuff ```bash sudo apt update sudo apt upgrade sudo apt install git sudo apt install python3-pip sudo apt install python3-virtualenvwrapper (optional) sudo apt install python3-picamzero ``` Add this to the end of the `.bashrc`: ```bash export WORKON_HOME=$HOME/.virtualenvs export PROJECT_HOME=$HOME/Devel source /usr/share/virtualenvwrapper/virtualenvwrapper.sh ``` ### Enable I2C `sudo raspi-config` -> `Interface Options` -> `I2C` TODO set 400KHz ? ### Set the usbserial latency timer ```bash cd /etc/udev/rules.d/ sudo touch 99-usb-serial.rules sudo nano 99-usb-serial.rules # copy the following line in the file SUBSYSTEM=="usb-serial", DRIVER=="ftdi_sio", ATTR{latency_timer}="1" ``` ### Set the udev rules for the motor control board TODO ### Setup xbox one controller over bluetooth Turn your xbox one controller on and set it in pairing mode by long pressing the sync button on the top of the controller. Run the following commands on the rasp : ```bash bluetoothctl scan on ``` Wait for the controller to appear in the list, then run : ```bash pair trust connect ``` The led on the controller should stop blinking and stay on. You can test that it's working by running ```bash python3 mini_bdx_runtime/mini_bdx_runtime/xbox_controller.py ``` ## Speaker wiring and configuration Follow this tutorial > For now, don't activate `/dev/zero` when they ask https://learn.adafruit.com/adafruit-max98357-i2s-class-d-mono-amp?view=all ## Install the runtime ### Make a virtual environment and activate it ```bash mkvirtualenv -p python3 open-duck-mini-runtime workon open-duck-mini-runtime ``` Clone this repository on your rasp, cd into the repo, then : ```bash git clone https://github.com/apirrone/Open_Duck_Mini_Runtime cd Open_Duck_Mini_Runtime git checkout v2 pip install -e . ``` ## Test the IMU ```bash python3 mini_bdx_runtime/mini_bdx_runtime/raw_imu.py ``` You can also run `python3 scripts/imu_server.py` on the robot and `python3 scripts/imu_client.py --ip ` on your computer to check that the frame is oriented correctly. > To find the ip address of the robot, run `ifconfig` on the robot ## Test motors This will allow you to verify all your motors are connected and configured. ```bash python3 scripts/check_motors.py ``` ## Make your duck_config.json Copy `example_config.json` in the home directory of your duck and rename it `duck_config.json`. `cp example_config.json ~/duck_config.json` In this file, you can configure some stuff, like registering if you installed the expression features, installed the imu upside down or and other stuff. You also write the joints offsets of your duck here ## Find the joints offsets This script will guide you through finding the joints offsets of your robot that you can then write in your `duck_config.json` > This procedure won't be necessary in the future as we will be flashing the offsets directly in each motor's eeprom. ```bash cd scripts/ python find_soft_offsets.py ``` ## Run the walk ! Download the [latest policy checkpoint ](https://github.com/apirrone/Open_Duck_Mini/blob/v2/BEST_WALK_ONNX_2.onnx) and copy it to your duck. `cd scripts/` `python v2_rl_walk_mujoco.py --onnx_model_path /BEST_WALK_ONNX_2.onnx` ``` - The commands are : - A to pause/unpause - X to turn on/off the projector - B to play a random sound - Y to turn on/off head control (very experimental, I don't recommend trying that, it can break your duck's head) - left and right triggers to control the left and right antennas - LB (new!) press and hold to increase the walking frequency, kind of a sprint mode 🙂 ```
