## README

# **Webots Template Project**

## **Introduction**

- Project to simulate Robot with C++ edited in Vscode. 
- If you are interseted in this project and need more information, please contact Jae Frank(thissfk@qq.com) to get an access.  

## **How to run this program**?

- **Start your Simulation:**
  1. Add the variable`WEBOTS_HOME`in the system with the path `${webots_installed_place}`.
     - `${webots_installed_place}` is the place where webots is installed, for example `D:\webots`.
  2. Open the directory `./controllers/cmake_controller/` with Vscode.
  3. Compile the program(2 ways)
     - use CMake tools.
     - use command line: `mkdir build && cd build ` and ` cmake .. && mingw32-make.exe`.
  4. Open scence file `./worlds/car.wbt` with Webots.
  5. Start simulation using the start button in Webots.

## How to control the car by sending commands

1. Use function `ceSerial::genComNumber(int)` in **main.cpp** to set the port number you want to open
2. Connect serial debugger to the opened port above, start the webots simulation, if it is OK, the serial debugger will receive `Hello!`
3. Send commands to the opened port through the serial debugger, the command: `w` is forward, `a` is for left turn, `d` is for left turn, `s` is for backward

4. The car run as your command in webots.
