K-OS

The K-Scale Operating System combines the hardware, software and firmware for K-Scale's general-purpose robots. To install the Python client for interacting with the OS, run the following command:

pip install pykos

Here is a high-level overview of the K-Scale OS architecture.

KOS Setup

1. Clone the kos-kbot library onto the robot head's compute

   git clone https://github.com/kscalelabs/kos-kbot.git

2. Setup Rust Cargo etc. on the Raspberry Pi

3. Edit the /src/lib.rs file to remove the leg actuator id if they are not present

4. Start the server with cargo run --release you can now use pykos. If running pykos on a different device, make sure the ip is pointed to the right one. By default, it uses 0.0.0.0ie localhost (same device).
