Before to proceed you should install the Pi4J libraries. The easiest way to install it is using the following command:
curl -s get.pi4j.com | sudo bash
If you need more details you can visit the official website: http://pi4j.com/install.html
Once your installation is complete and your local repository is ready then you can compile the GoPiGo libraries and run the test program. First, enter the Java directory:
$ cd ./Java/
The folder structure will be:
$ config doc scripts src test
- bin - it's the destination folder for the compiler and it will be created automatically, if not present, by the Bash script.
- config - contains the default configuration.
- doc - contains the GoPiGo library documentation.
- scripts - contains some Bash scripts to compile the library and execute the basic test program.
- src - contains the sources of the GoPiGo library.
- test - contains some example code/programs.
To compile the library and run the test program you can use the following command:
$ ./scripts/compile.sh && ./scripts/Test.sh
By default you will find some logs inside the /var/log/gopigo folder.
