Setup a computer and compile our code

The Setting Up Your Computer page will walk you through how to get a machine set up for you whether you borrowed a machine or want to set up your own.

Once you have set up the computer go into the nbites/src/man directory and run the commands:
$> make atom (type c then g to configure and exit)
$> make -j4
The -j flag denotes how many threads to use. Depending on your processor you may want -j2 or -j4.

This should compile the robot code. Ideally the code will compile correctly the first time! If it does then you can try to run the QTool... Go into nbites/src/qtool (rather than man) and try both

% make connect -j4 and
% make run -j4

to run the main tool and the tool for connecting to a robot. Feel free to play around with them!
