Monitor

What is Monitor

Monitor is dedicated to give you an elementary feedback from your robot and a simple access to its camera settings.

Its modular architecture allows you to load plugins in different mobile widgets, each of them being connected to the robot of your choice. That is to say you can connect several robots at a time.

5 plugins are available:

• Camera viewer
• Laser monitor - for Laser Head NAO owners only.
• Memory viewer
• 3D Sensor Monitor - requires a depth camera plugged to the robot.
• Log viewer

How to install Monitor

Monitor is installed along with Choregraphe. For further details, see Installing Choregraphe suite.
