CPM Remote

FAQ

Here you will find answers to the most common questions. If you have any further questions or a technical problem, please feel free to contact us.

How do the model-scale vehicles look like?

You can find more information about the model-scale vehicles here.

What programming languages are supported?

Currently C++ is supported on the CPM Remote Website. In the future, further languages may be added, e.g., Matlab.
Matlab can already be used in the CPM Lab, but not yet via CPM Remote.

Is there a documentation about the project?

Yes, an extensive documentation about the structure of the project is provided here. However, the documentation includes the setup for simulation and hardware, which is not required for using CPM Remote.
More information on how to get started with CPM Remote can be found here.

How does the session for the simulation work?

You upload your code, edit it and compile it remotely. If you request a session a docker container is started, which is only used by you. This docker container runs your simulation. When you finish your session, the docker container is stopped.

How should an uploaded project look like?

The project needs a CMakeList.txt. The CMakeList.txt should have exactly one output binary with the name "cpm_bin". This often can be accomplished by changing the name of the binary at the "add_executable" and "target_link_libraries" in the following way:

 add_executable(cpm_bin .... 
 target_link_libraries(cpm_bin ...

Furthermore, the CPM lib needs to be included. The lib is installed on the server at a specific location:

 # CPM lib
 include_directories(SYSTEM /home/cpm/dev/software/cpm_lib/include/)
 include_directories(SYSTEM /home/cpm/dev/software/cpm_lib/include/cpm/dds/)
 link_directories(/home/cpm/dev/software/cpm_lib/build/)

My code crashed and now the simulation does not start again. What do I do now?

Currently, if the code of a user crashes, the session needs to be restarted in order to start a new simulation.

Where can I find information about latest features?

Information about website features can be found in the changelog overview in About.
