The following instructions are based mostly on the article Segway on player 2.1.x published by SRI International’s Artificial Intelligence Center. This document is designed to be included with the player 2.1.x distribution. The latest version of player is 3.x, which claims to include a correct and robust driver for the USB based Segway RMPs.
The instructions were developed for 32- and 64-bit versions of Ubuntu 9.10, but should be fairly protable to other versions and distributions. The library versions are current as of 18-Dec-2009, but are likely to change over time. You will need to update the commands below if a newer version is released.
