Robot Selection window.

Overview

In the screenshot above, the top bar contains the connection controls, and the main panel lists discovered robots. Selecting a robot reveals connection actions, a short status summary, and optional diagnostics panes.

Layout

  • Top bar: IP address book dropdown, manual IP entry field, and the WebSocket connect button.

  • Device list: discovered robots with two status dots (heartbeat freshness and connection state), plus network type icons.

  • Action row (for the selected robot): operator, developer, and disconnect buttons (or a connect button for disconnected entries).

  • Details area: simulation vs real status, serial number, model, IP, and port, plus an optional description popup.

  • Diagnostics area: four columns listing publishers, services, clients, and subscribers. Selecting an entry shows traffic plots below.

Key Controls

  • WebSocket connect: connects to <ip>:9002 using the manual IP field.

  • Operator / Developer: opens the robot or robot_dev window for the selected robot.

  • : opens the Robot Description popup with model and power limits.

Data Sources and Services

  • Device discovery and connection status are derived from the Raisin network layer and heartbeat timing.

  • Robot metadata is fetched via the describe_robot service.

  • Traffic plots use per-topic counters from the active connection.

Notes

  • If a robot advertises multiple IPs, a dropdown appears to select the active endpoint.

  • The diagnostics area reflects the currently selected connection; use it to verify topics before opening other windows.
