Everything you need to hack the Rabbit: a sinatra server including simple api framework to run custom bytecode on Nabaztag v1/v2. Includes original compiler sources for linux and a modified mac os x version.
The Hack Kit is distributed as a ruby gem. It comes with a simple web server (based on sinatra) which runs out-of-the for connecting you rabbit and distributing the nabaztag bytecode. In addition it includes sinatra helpers/modules to communicate with the rabbit easily. Lastly it provides binaries to compile your own Nabaztag bytecode (see Binaries below).
The Server is the communication endpoint for the rabbit. Its two main purposes are:
- serving the bytecode on bootup
- receive and respond to HTTP requests in a defined format.
- Install dependencies first:
gem install nabaztag_hack_kit
or if you have a Gemfile
bundle install --path=vendor/bundle
- Then, create a
config.rufile
require 'nabaztag_hack_kit/server'
run NabaztagHackKit::Server.new- Finally, to start and run the server, execute:
bundle exec rackup -p <portnumer>
See examples/ folder for more sophisticated usage.
The kit comes with violet sources and binaries to compile custom Nabaztag bytecode. See folder compiler/. The linux sources are (more or less) the original ones by violet, the mac osx version was created by @ztalbot2000.
The compiler binaries are compiled on installation of the gem.
Following three binaries are available:
A wrapper around mtl_comp. Compiles a *.mtl file. It calls mtl_merge before
A wrapper around mtl_simu. Runs a *.mtl file. It calls mtl_merge before
Merges multiple *.mtl files into one. Files are included like in C: #include "<relative path to file>". Output is temporary file .tmp.mtl.
Be sure to checkout mtl_linux submodule first:
git submodule update
To update the kit run:
bundle exec rake build && bundle exec gem install -V pkg/nabaztag_hack_kit-0.1.0.beta6.gem
As example and for my own purposes I implemented a simple API to deal with RFID, LEDS, BUTTON and EARS easily. (see bytecode/main.mtl)
see my other project NabaztagInjector
Current Button has very basic functionality: a short press send HTTP Request of type Log to server, a long
press forces the bunny to restart.
Data for all output devices are stored in buffers. Each device has two: one for onetime, imediate playback, another for permanent loops.
Buffers 0 - 9, where 0-4 are used for onetime, and 5-9 for loop playback.
Buffers 10 - 13, where 10 & 11 are used for onetime, and 12 & 13 for loop playback.
The server part was heavily inspired by Trudy.rb, compiler code copied from OpenJabNab. Thanks!
