Revision history [back]

It looks like that tutorial is pretty outdated; it was written for the old build system (rosbuild) and last updated in 2011...

The arbotix stack has since been migrated to catkin, and is released and available through the package manager.

If you're on Ubuntu and you're using Indigo, you can install it with:

sudo apt-get install ros-indigo-arbotix
