Libbarrett
Libbarrett is a real-time controls library written in C++ that runs Barrett Technology's products, including the WAM Arm and the BH8-280 BarrettHand.
This version of libbarrett is free software: you can redistribute it and/or modify it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by the Free Software Foundation.
Getting started
- Download the library, unzip it, then install it by following the directions in the README.txt file.
- After installation, look through the example code in your home directory: ~/libbarrett_examples/
- When you're ready, copy the ~/libbarrett_examples/CMakeLists.txt file to another directory to start writing your own code.
You may also want to calibrate your WAM using the bt-wam-zerocal and bt-wam-gravitycal programs that are installed with the library. Instructions for running bt-wam-zerocal can be found here:
http://web.barrett.com/support/WAM_Documentation/zero_calibration_procedure.pdf
Running bt-wam-gravitycal is pretty self-explanatory. Let us know if you have any problems.
