escape-pod-extension

Want to add additional functionality to your escape pod? You're in the right place!

Do you want your Vector robot to dance for every response on the third Tuesday of every month? Do you want them to tell you the weather? Write an app, turn on the "external_parser" option in your intent, and have at it!

Package structure

Directory	Description
proto	The proto definitions for inter-process communication, along with generated libraries in C++, C#, Go, Javascript, and Python
examples	Example applications, separated by language

How do I configure the escape pod to use these?

Note: This will only function on beta 0.4 or above.

At the bare minimum, you'll need to set the following variables in /etc/escape-pod.conf

Variable	Description
ENABLE_EXTENSIONS	Set this to true to tell the escape pod to look for further configuration
ESCAPEPOD_EXTENDER_TARGET	The hostname and port the service you've written is running on
ESCAPEPOD_EXTENDER_DISABLE_TLS	This will allow clear-text communication with your serivce (but please use TLS!)

How do I get my token?

Obtaining the token is relatively easy in OSKR robots: When you are logged in via SSH into your robot, enter the command:
cat /data/data/com.anki.victor/persistent/token/token.jwt
DDL is working on a way to effectively and easily obtain the robot's token through alternative methods for production robots, as they cannot be accessed via SSH.
