Making more progress! So, I ran that one-line command...
bash <(curl -sL https://gitlab.com/chordata/notochord/raw/develop/install_notochord.sh)
...and that it looks like everything installed correctly.
After that though, I tried entering in the commands to run Notochord as shown on GitHub, but they didn't work.
cd bin
./notochord <YOUR COMPUTER IP ADDRESS>
However, here's what did work:
cd notochord
cd bin
./notochord <YOUR COMPUTER IP ADDRESS>
And then Notochord starts up.
I haven't gotten to the K-Ceptor calibration step yet (still need to re-solder the Hub LED and print out the box), but since a fair amount of changing/replacing Chordata.xml needs to happen, I thought I'd outline a way to do it that other beta testers might find useful (Note: I know some of this might seem obvious, but I'm a novice when it comes to the Raspberry Pi and some of the beta testers might be too).
1 - Create/rename the requisite XML files for calibration and the full armature:
-1 for K-Ceptor 0
-1 for K-Ceptor 1
-1 for K-Ceptor 2
-1 unaltered XML for full the armature
When transferring an XML over to the Raspberry Pi, copy the XML file and rename it to Chordata.xml. Then, transfer it to your Pi using the following method:
Using a free FTP program (in this case, Cyberduck), go to Open Connection
From the dropdown choose SFTP (SSH File Transfer Protocol).
Enter the following data into the fields:
Server: < YOUR PI’S IP ADDRESS>
Port: 22
Username: pi (or whatever your custom username is)
Password: raspberry (or whatever your custom password is)
Click Connect
From here you can go into your notochord folder and replace the current Chordata.xml with your altered version(s) for calibration.
Note for Software Development:
It would be nice to have all of the needed XML files already in the Notochord program and command options when you run the program that ask what you want to do (eg. calibrate K-Ceptor 0’s, calibrate K-Ceptor 1’s, calibrate K-Ceptor 2’s, or load the whole armature), and then the program would use the appropriate XML file for the chosen function.
