To help you get up and running quicker, we have provided a virtual machine (VM) for VMWare Fusion that has:

  • Ubuntu 14.04 LTS
  • ROS Indigo
  • Basic catkin workspace
  • Crosbot
  • COMP3431 starter software

The VM is can be downloaded from: http://robolab.cse.unsw.edu.au/~robolab/RSAvm.ova

The VM uses VMWare Fusion which is available for Mac, Windows and Linux. CSE provides free licenses to students. To get the software go to: http://taggi.cse.unsw.edu.au/FAQ/VMware_Academic_Program/

You should change the password immediately after setting up your VM

unsw_robotics issues

To enable your VM to connect to the unsw_robotics network you need to configure the network options of the VM.

  1. Open VM setting
  2. Selection "Network Adaptor" options
  3. Select "Bridged Network" with "Wi-Fi" option
  4. Open "Advanced Options"
  5. Change the "MAC Address" to be the same MAC as your wireless card

Then in your VM:

  1. Enable the DCHP wired network connection

These configuration settings will only work on the unsw_robotics network. If you leave your VM open on any other network, you will no longer be able to get an internet connection.
