# Asctec Pelican GUI

The purpose of this project is an example of how to write a web page that can be accessed by any device on the same network as the host computer by accessing the IP of that host computer.

### Quick Start Guide


If you are connecting to a remote computer that is running the roscore, you need to run the following lines in the terminal:

    sudo route add 192.168.2.1 gw <Host computer IP>
    export ROS_MASTER_URI=http://<Host computer IP>:11311
    export ROS_IP=<your IP>

Then run the bash file in the working directory by running the following in the terminal.

    bash launch.bash

# Making Changes

Feel free to clone this project and use it as a base for your own GUI.

You can easily customise the "Robot Display" pannel by changing the HTML "index.html" file. 

All ROS related Javascript should go in the "ProjectFiles/js/ros_scripts.js" file.
All functions that are used to update the GUI should go in the "ProjectFiles/js/update_guis.js" file



By using ROSBridge, this GUI will attempt to display relevant information over the web for any device.
