VMC to PCC connection

Q&A

How do you connect the PCC to the VMC, we are currently in the VMC software and want our PCC to work for the competition. We are very curious how to connect the VMC to the PCC because there are no explicit instructions in the gitbook on how to do this.

Plug a micro usb cable into the port of your PCC and the other end into one of the available USB-A ports on the Jetson. You can sort of see it in this video:

To connect the PCC (Physical Control Computer) to the VMC (Virtual Machine Controller), you will need to follow these steps:

  1. Make sure that both the PCC and VMC are on the same network.
  2. Obtain the IP address of the PCC and the IP address of the VMC.
  3. On the VMC, navigate to the network settings and add the IP of the PCC as a new device.
  4. On the PCC, navigate to the network settings and add the IP of the VMC as a new device.
  5. Verify that the connection is established by pinging the IP of the VMC from the PCC and vice versa.
  6. Configure the communication protocol that is being used between the PCC and VMC (e.g. TCP/IP, UDP).
  7. Once the connection is established, you should be able to control the VMC from the PCC and receive updates from the VMC on the PCC.
