Installing Meili Agent #

  1. Generate PIN in Meili FMS.

  2. Download installation script for ROS Noetic installation.

  3. Download Meili CLI(for i386 platforms) in the same folder where you have downloaded the installation script. For other platforms you can download it here.

Note: Meili CLI is the command-line utility tool for managing secrets, system setups, and map synchronisation with the server. For more info click here.
  1. Once you have both files in the same folder you just need to run the commands below:
chmod +x meili-cli
chmod +x meili_agent_noetic.sh
./meili_agent_noetic.sh PIN
Note: PIN is the 5 digits pin code generated in the first step.
Note: Meili_agent will be installed in ~/catkin_ws_meili/src/ .

In order to use the twist multiplexor parameter defined here, you need to install the ROS multiplexor package by including a true flag when running the installation script after the PIN as shown below:

chmod +x meili-cli
chmod +x meili_agent_noetic.sh
./meili_agent_noetic.sh PIN true

Running Meili Agent #

After finalising the script you need to source the environment and run meili_agent as shown below:

Warning: Make sure that robot is connected to the internet and it is providing the location. 

source ~/.bashrc
roslaunch meili_agent meili_agent.launch

If everything has gone well, you should be able to see the robot location and battery on this page.

You can see more details about how to run and configure certain parameters of the meili_agent here.
