In the dialog choose the M圜ontroller.exe_webots process. Then, in Visual Studio, use the Debug / Attach to Process. Proceed like this: In Webots, hit the Pause button then the Reload button. If you want to debug your controller with Visual Studio you can attach the debugger to the running controller process. Then hit the Save button in Webots' main window.įinally you can hit the Run button to start the simulation.Īt this point the simulation should be using your Visual Studio controller. In the selection dialog choose "M圜ontroller". (ellipsis) button, this opens a selection dialog. Start Webots and verify that your robot is associated with the correct controller: In the Scene tree, expand the robot node and check the controller field. Now we can switch to Webots in order to test the. This should generate the "MyProject\controllers\M圜ontroller\M圜ontroller.exe" file. Now you should be able to build your controller with the Build / Build M圜ontroller menu item (or the F7 key). This should add the "Accelerometer.cpp, Camera.cpp, Compass.cpp",

cpp files (but no other file) in that directory and hit theĪdd button. In the fileĭialog, go to the "C:\Program Files\Webots\resources\languages\cpp" directory, The right-mouse-button: choose the Add / Existing Item. In Visual Studio, in the Solution Explorer: right-mouse-click on the Sources Files folder, then select Add / New Filter. cpp files that implement the interface between the C++ API and the C API. Then you need to add Webots C++ wrappers to your project. Now you should have the path to both the. If you don't do it, you may run into error messagesĬ/C++ > General > Additional Include Directories:Ĭ:\Program Files\Webots\include\controller\cĬ:\Program Files\Webots\include\controller\cpp cpp you will instruct Visual Studio to compile the file in C++ mode (/TP) which is Version of the C language than Visual Studio. That Webots examples are written for the gcc compiler which uses a more modern Recommended to change the source file extension from.

Note that if you copied C code from Webots examples to Visual Studio, it is highly In the second case you can copy the content of one of the C/C++ examples of Webots distribution. Then you can add a C or C++ source file to your project: Choose either: Project / Add Existing Item or Project / Add New Item / C++ File (.cpp). Where "M圜ontroller" is the name of a new or already existing controllerĭirectory, and where "Location" must indicate the "controllers" subdirectory of Location: C:\Users\MyName\Documents\MyProject\controllers (for example) Start Visual Studio and select: File / New / Project. Either way, the project directory must contain the "controllers" and "worlds" subdirectories. Note that the resulting ".exe" file must be launched by Webots it cannot be run from Visual Studio.Ĭopy a Webots project from Webots distribution to your "Documents" folder, or create an empty project directory using Webots menu: Wizard / New Project Directory.
#WEBOTS LOGIN HOW TO#
The following procedure (Visual Studio 2008 Express) explains how to create a Visual Studio project for a Webots controller. The "Controller.lib" files is needed to link with the "Controller.dll" file that must be used by the controller in order to communicate with Webots. It is also necessary to configure the linker to use the "Controller.lib" import library from Webots distribution. When creating a Webots controller with Visual Studio, it is necessary to specify the path to Webots ".h" and/or ".hpp" files. This wizard creates a Visual Studio project for your robot controller, so that you don't need to configure it manually as described in the next section. menu after you choose the C or C++ language on Windows. Since Webots R2018b, a Visual Studio option is offered in the Wizards / New Robot Controller. In principle any C or C++ controller from the Webots distribution can be turned into a Visual Studio project.

The C++ API is composed of ".hpp" files that contain C++ classes and methods that can be used in C++ controllers only. The C API is composed of ".h" files that contains flat C functions that can be used in C or C++ controllers. The developer must choose one of these two APIs as they cannot be used together in controller code. Visual Studio can be used to develop controllers using Webots C or C++ API. On Windows, Visual Studio is a possible alternative to using Webots built-in Makefile and gcc (MinGW) compiler.
