Nabaztag emulator for Karotz (OJN)

ok, let's try to gather the family ...
This is an emulator of Nabaztag to load on our Karotz
to be taken as it is ^_^

prerequisite: Openkarotz

set variables MAC and H with your mac address and your server OJN
in the script
copy the files in '/ usr / openkarotz / Extra /' with ftp or the way you want
if you change the folder name must also customize the variable SCRIPT

add your Karotz on server OJN
connect to telnet to Karotz
go to the folder '/ usr / openkarotz / Extra /'
and run: python s004.py
.. Wait a few seconds
if all goes well you will see 'Authentication complete ....'

go to set the plugin into server OJN

obviously not all work (would be nice!!) but something already goes ..

2021 update: for Freerabbits
https://github.com/ccarlo64/nabaztag-emulator/tree/master/for_freerabbits

Carlo

updated! now should work also click and double click on the Karotz!

Carlo

little update
now with 3 click run emulator and with other 3 click stop emulator
rfid maybe work (testing..)
some fixes
to control specific functions of the Karotz I inserted a customizable package.
for example if I send the message via plugin 7fcc000001ff is run with the parameter script.sh customize k000001 (I put snap photos on email) but it is just an idea!

Hi there!

Sorry if I'm saying big mistakes, I'm really new to the rabbit's world and own a Karotz (his name is Blackie) for only a week or so, so I have many things to learn.

Your posts seem to say that with your emulator, Karotz rabbits can now join an OpenJabNab server.
Without the emulator, they can't, because OpenJabNab only supports Nabaztag V1 and V2.

Is this assumption correct?

If it is, then I have a problem understanding this sentence: "set variables MAC and H with your mac address and your server OJN in the script".

Because... if you're a Karotz, you can't * already * have an OJN server... so how do you know the address of the server?

Or did you mean... the proud Karotz's owner has first to decide which OJN server to join, THEN add this piece of information to the script?

By the way, I did found the OJN website here :
http://openjabnab.fr/ojn_admin/index.php

but :
1) I don't see a list of available servers with addresses or stuff
2) the "how do I set up my bunny" explains that you have to put the rabbit in ad-hoc mode... but doesn't this only apply to Nabaztag? Can Karotzes may be put in ad-hoc mode too?

Once again, sorry if these are dumb questions, and thanks for your help, eventually!

Hi!

ok I try, I'm not good at explaining .. :/
you must create an account and register your Karotz like a nabaztag on the server that you indicated

on Karotz you have to follow the installation of openkarotz shown here http://www.openkarotz.org/

variables to the script will then h = 'openjabnab.fr' ..the and mac mac address of Karotz what you used to register the server openjabnab.fr

update instructions
copy the files nabemu.py and script.sh in '/ usr / openkarotz / Extra /'
and dbus_evens in  / usr / www / cgi-bin (make a backup of original file first)
reboot the karotz
after the boot
3 click in the head, this will start the program  


let me know!

Hi and thanks for the answer and explanation!

Alright, so now I understand... the last point would be: when you say "3 click in the head", you mean physically click on the head of the rabbit?

Or is it something else?

And... last but not least, just to be sure: with the emulator AND openkarotz, the rabbit:

- can still be controlled via openkarotz and the http://address_of_the_rabbit and do stuff
- can do things on OpenJabNab, use plugins, etc.

both at the same time?

Hi
yes iI hooked the launch of the program at three click physically!

and yes openkarotz at the http://address_of_the_rabbit work
but, only for physically events (ztamps and click on head), need to restore dbus_event file original

the plugin on OpenJabNab, work almost all.. clock, news etc.. I'm working for the Taichi..

but is testing.. Notify problems please!

Hi Carlo,

I didn't try yet your emulator, but I must admit that it's the idea I have in mind to plu the karotz on OJN servers.
Knowing that you start an emulator, I'm going to install it on my karotz (after having installed openkarotz - didn't take the time to do that).

After that, I could improve openJabNab to take karotz into account.

Best regards, and very good work !

The bunny can't connect. It seems the authentication process is not good for all bunnies (maybe it's good for your bunny AND server together)

Hi!
mmmmmm  

I have tested the program with a server homemade
(with StandAloneAuthBypass = true into openjabnab.ini file)
and with the server openznab.it and work

Try to check variables mac and h in file nabemu.py
maybe some extra character

Where you are connecting? Can I register and do the tests?

I'm connecting on my server : openjabnab.fr ( openjabnab.fr/vl for the bunny)
You can connect your bunny, and check all plugins, for a nabaztag:tag, a karotz, etc.
The StandAloneAuthBypass is False (it's a public server)

Here is a log on the server : [10/04/2015 16:51:22.668] virtual bool PluginAuth::DoAuth(XmppHandler*, const QByteArray&, Bunny**, QByteArray&) : Authentication failure for bunny: 000e8e2XXX6d

So the MAC address is good (I've changed your nabemu.py to automatically retreive it from the system), and h is good also, because the server receive the connecting query.

Do not hesitate to tell me (MP) your MAC address to see if all is good for you.

I've made some test by uncommenting the lines to debug your nabemu.py
The password for the bunny failed, and then it does not register.

ops! evidently the server openznab is in easymode...
sorry .. I will have to review all part authentication!  
ok I will record in your server and begin some test, i will keep you informed! thanks

Hi Pixel
I should have solved (I hope) the problem of authentication
file is nabemu_test.py

my bunny connect to your server
but..
after a few minutes disconnect..
your server wait for ping to hold connection alive?
and
for message < button.. do you have change anything from the original server?
thanks for help


Carlo

I'll try the new version asap. Didn't have a karotz with me now.
Yes, the server i waiting for a ping, and disconnect when there is no ping.
But the click should be the same...

I'll tel you as soon as I can test.

Hi guys and rabbits' lovers.

Blackie The Karotz and I need your help!

Here is what I've done so far:

- go to openjabnab.fr, create an account, give the MAC address of the Karotz and his name
- Karotz appears "disconnected" on the server (mystery: how the hell do you connect the rabbit to the openjabnag server? I've read the wiki and FAQ but couldn't find the way, if Blackie was a Nabaztag V2...)

- go to Github and download the 6 files in the repository
- edit the files :
• nabemu.py with rabbit's MAC address and openjabnab.fr server
• nabemu_test.py with rabbit's MAC address and openjabnab.fr server (notice this file has a password, nabemu.py does not. Leave the password as it was)

- send by FTP to the rabbit :
• dbus_events in user / www / cgi-bin (after making a backup of the original dbus_events file)
• nabemu.py and nabemutest.py in openkarotz/Extra which I created
• renamed nabemu.py _nabemu.py temporarily (because only one of them must be the right one)
• (EDIT) : send the other files also to openkarotz/Extra

- turn off the rabbit, turn it back on (I don't know how to reboot it otherwise)

- see the green light flashing slowly (Internet is all good)
- click three times on the button on the head
- Blackie says "Oops" or something short.

That is all.
Rabbit still shows as "disconnected" when I'm on openjabnab.fr with my browser.

What am I not doing, or doing wrong?

@carlo64 :
On Github you have written:
"add your Karotz server OJN connect to telnet to Karotz go to the folder '/ usr / openkarotz / Extra /' and run python s004.py .. Wait a few seconds if all goes well you will see 'Authentication complete ....'

go to set the plugin server OJN:-)"


This totally confuses me: I thought that the emulator was started with the 3 clicks on the head.
Does "run python s004.py" still apply?
If yes, how do you do that?

And what is the plugin server OJN?

Again, apologies for my dumb questions... I'm really new to all this!

Thanks for your help!

Could you send me (PM) the MAC address of the bunny, so that I can check in the logs where the problem is.

Best regards

Sure I can, doing it right now!

Thanks for your help!

Hello again,

Pixel du Rezo has nicely verified that the MAC address of Blackie was nowhere to be seen in the log of openjabnab, sniff sniff.

He asked if I could run the script manually, so I did:

telnet IP_of_Blackie
login : karotz

Was welcomed with the -bash-4.1# prompt.

After some struggling (my linux is a bit rusty), I found that I could do:

/usr / openkarotz / Extra / nabemu_test.py (or any other script) in the / Extra

and get: Permission denied
each time.

So indeed, I verified that all files in /Extra are only Read and Write, but not Executable.

I don't know if that's normal, and how to change that, so Blackie and me are stuck here!

Waiting for any help, Blackie is sitting on his brand new carrot USB dongle ;-)

Indeed, MP received, thank you very much!

Trying right now to connect (in a minute...) !

For those of you readers who would be wondering how to change the permissions, here is what Pixel du Rezo advised me to do:

- telnet Ip_of_the_Rabbit
- "cd /usr/openkarotz/Extra" (sans les "")
- "chmod +x *.py" (toujours sans les "")
- "chmod +x *.sh" (toujours sans les "")
- "python nabemu_test.py" (encore sans les "")

Let's test!

Oh my god, it did connect!

-bash-4.1# python nabemu_test.py

Yeee! Socket Connected to openjabnab.fr on ip 87.XX.XX.XX

I clicked twice on the button...

Now it seems the connection to openjabnab was successfull but I get an error message saying the rabbit "MAC_of_Blackie" is already connected as "guest" (see screenshot).

Maybe I did something too slowly?

Hum, maybe it's a bug hidden in a feature : the double click could be activated to associate the bunny to an account in some case...
I'll try to reproduce that to fix.

But, the green message (in french), says that after this error, you have 1 minute to double click again, and that will associate the bunny to your account.

Best regards

No, Mplayer is not important (it's the software that will read the sound files)
