The goal of this week was to finish the new edit action modal and migrate localized vacuum cleaner to humble.

List of changes to BT Studio

This is a list of all of changes that will be done to BT Studio before the merge is done.

  • Buttons hover correctly
  • Projects list
  • Redesign color choices and css (Maybe)
  • New dialog window for creating new files
  • New dialog window for editing actions
  • Quick ? for simple stuff related to how the bt editor works
  • Autosave file in change
  • When creating a file always en with .py
  • Autosave project in change
  • Not show editor if no file is open
  • If modified one action all copies of that action must be updated
  • Indicator that input or output is from blackboard
  • BT sort button
  • Show the link between 2 nodes connected incorrectly in other color OR link by clicking
  • Create file from templates
  • Horizontal Bt (Maybe)
  • Add toggle between horizontal bt and vertical (Maybe)
  • Solving the Tab mistery from ACE
  • Better error popups

New dialog window for editing actions

Now finally it is finished and it doesn’t have any (I hope) bugs.

With this addition, now the number of times when you are required to input something in a browser prompt has been reduced to 0.

The next steps are to connect the action explorer and the diagram engine in order to change the names of the actions in various places in order to make it cohesive.

The PR for this ca be found here and this is a video of how the new action editor works, it may change in the future (the color chooser will change for sure).

Here is the PR I created for this and for now it is implemented to open a new modal window to change color,inputs and outputs of all the action nodes of that action created and also the future ones.

Outside of BT Studio

I also started the migration of the localiced vacuum cleaner to ros humble in order to finished the job done by Oscar, and after some problems with the threading library of Python not working properly I was able to get it to work. This can be seen in this PR
