Time
Narration
00:01 Welcome to the spoken tutorial on Using Single Board heater System Virtual labs on Windows OS.
00:11 In this spoken tutorial, we will learn about: Software installations required on the remote users' computer
00:17 Using SBHS website
00:20 Performing a Step test experiment remotely.
00:24 As a pre-requisite, watch the following tutorials- Introduction to SBHS and Introduction to Xcos.
00:32 These are available on the spoken tutorial website.
00:35 I am recording this tutorial on a Windows-7, 32-bit Operating System.
00:42 Ensure that Scilab is installed on your computer.
00:45 Scilab can be downloaded from sbhs dot os hyphen hardware dot in slash downloads OR www dot scilab dot org.
00:58 Please note that you will need internet connectivity to install Scilab.
01:11 All SBHS experiment Scilab codes are written using Scilab 5.3.3 and is the recommended version.
01:21 A higher version of Scilab will work equally well.
01:25 However, code modified in a higher version of Scilab cannot be re-used in the lower version.
01:33 I have already installed Scilab 5.3.3.
01:37 Now, the next step is to download the experiment Scilab code.
01:42 Open a web browser.
01:44 In the address bar, type: os hyphen hardware dot in and press the Enter key.
01:53 This is the website for Open Source - Hardware.
01:57 Click on the project SBHS.
02:01 On the left hand side, click on Downloads.
02:05 Click on the download link for SBHS Scilab codes for Windows.
02:13 It will download the Scilab code.
02:15 Save it on the Desktop.
02:18 Here it is!
02:28 The file downloaded will be in zip format.
02:31 Extract the content of this zip file on the Desktop.
02:35 To do so, right-click on it and choose Extract Here.
02:42 The contents inside this folder will be discussed at a later part of this tutorial.
02:48 Now, let us see the SBHS Virtual labs website.
02:52 On the left hand side, click on the link Virtual Labs.
02:57 This is the interface from where one can gain access to do remote experiments on SBHS.
03:05 A first time user needs to register once, by clicking on the Login/Register option.
03:14 After this, a form has to be filled and submitted.
03:19 An activation link is emailed to the user after the form is submitted successfully.
03:25 The link received in the email should be used to complete the registration process.
03:31 Note that the activation process may not be immediate. It may take a few minutes.
03:37 I will now login with my registered account.
03:41 I will enter my username and password.
03:47 After a successful login, a user has access to Book Slot, View/Delete Slot etc.
03:55 A slot is the time duration in which you can perform an experiment.
04:00 In our case, a slot lasts for 55 minutes of every hour.
04:06 After clicking on the Book Slot option, the client will have two choices.
04:12 One can either book Current Slot or a Future Slot.
04:17 Book Now option will appear only if the current slot is vacant.
04:22 Book future slot option will always be available.
04:26 It will allow two non-consecutive slots to be booked, each day.
04:31 I will click on the Book Now option.
04:34 You will receive an acknowledgement with your booking details appearing on the top side.
04:41 The slot booking part is over. Let us now run a simple Step Test experiment, downloaded from the website.
04:50 Open the folder you downloaded and saved on the Desktop.
04:55 You can see that there is a StepTest folder and a common files folder.
05:04 Do not move any of the folders from their location.
05:07 If the directory structure is changed, the experiment will not execute.
05:12 If you want one experiment to be copied elsewhere, make sure you copy the common_files folder too.
05:19 However, make sure the common files folder is always outside the experiment folder.
05:26 Open the common files folder. Open the file config.
05:32 This file is used to do the proxy settings.
05:36 Do not change the contents of config file if you are inside IIT Bombay OR
05:42 you are outside IIT Bombay and using an open network.
05:48 For example, at home or using a mobile internet.
05:53 Change the contents of the config file if you are outside IIT Bombay and using a proxy network.
06:01 For example- at an institute, office etc.
06:06 Put the value of use proxy as Yes with Y capital.
06:12 Change the other details as per the proxy network which you are on.
06:17 Save and close this file.
06:20 Open the StepTest folder.
06:24 Locate and double-click on the file run.
06:28 It will open the python based 'SBHS client' application.
06:32 Note that the first time execution of this file will take a minute to open the SBHS client.
06:40 It will show various parameters of the experiment like-
06:44 SBHS Connection, Client version, User login and Experiment status.
06:51 Green dots mean that the SBHS client can connect to the server.
06:57 It also shows that the client version I am using is the latest.
07:03 User login and Experiment status is red because I have still not logged in and the experiment is not running.
07:13 It will also give you an option to login.
07:17 Type your username and password.
07:22 This username and password is the same as you used to book a slot.
07:27 Click on login.
07:30 Ensure that you login on the booked date and time, with correct login details.
07:35 Expect the message "Ready to execute scilab code".
07:40 Switch to the StepTest folder which has the experiment files.
07:45 Double-click on the stepc file.
07:56 This should open Scilab automatically.
08:00 It should also open the file in Scilab editor.
08:04 If it doesn't, click on the File menu. Click on Open a file.
08:11 Choose the file stepc and click on Open.
08:17 Switch to the Scilab console.
08:37 Type the command: getd space dot dot slash common files and press Enter.
08:47 Switch to the scilab editor.
08:50 On the menu bar, click on Execute option and then click on File with echo .
08:58 If the network is working properly, it will open an Xcos diagram.
09:04 If it doesn't, it will show error on the Scilab console.
09:09 Using the step test Xocs diagram, we can set the experiment parameters such as Heat and Fan.
09:18 Double-click on each block to change its parameters.
09:23 I will set the heat to vary from 30% to 45% after 300 seconds.
09:30 I will put the Initial Value as 30, Final Value equal to 45 and Step Time equal to 300.
09:43 Similarly, I will set the Fan to be constant at 50% which is the default value.
09:52 Now, let us save and execute the xcos diagram.
09:57 To execute, click on the Start button on the menu bar.
10:02 If there is no error, it will open a plot window.
10:06 It will consist of three graphs, Heat, Fan and Temperature from top to bottom.
10:15 Switch to the SBHS client.
10:18 It shows the values of current iteration, heat, fan, temperature and time left for experimentation.
10:28 It shows the Log file name, it has created for this experiment.
10:33 Switch to the browser. Click on the Show video option.
10:40 It will give a live video feed of the SBHS you are currently accessing.
10:45 This is a real experiment and will take some time to complete.
10:49 I will pause this recording for some time and then resume again.
10:55 After sufficient time of experiment, the graph obtained is as shown.
11:00 I will stop the simulation by clicking on stop button, available on the Xcos window.
11:08 Close the SBHS client window after the experiment is over.
11:13 Now, switch to the experiment folder and open the logs folder.
11:20 It will have a folder named after your username.
11:24 Open this folder and locate your log file.
11:29 Read the log file name as year month date hours minutes seconds dot txt.
11:38 Use this log file for further analysis.
11:42 Let us summarise.
11:43 In this tutorial, we learnt: what are the software installations required to do a remote experiment on SBHS
11:53 How to use the SBHS virtual labs website
11:56 How to use the python based SBHS client application
12:00 How to execute the Scilab code of an experiment.
