There may already be a ROS Explorer driver from Coroware.

If that is not satisfactory, you can port your Player driver to ROS. There are two methods:

  • Invoke the Player driver (and libplayer) from a ROS node, as was done for the ROS Erratic driver.

  • Convert the Player driver to a ROS node. The results are generally clean and easy to maintain. If you are interested in this approach, I can provide hints on how to proceed.
