Revision history [back]

ROS is an incredibly powerful system, but also complex. I'd recommend starting slow and simple. Go through the beginner tutorials (you can get through them pretty quickly). Then start on a simple project. Installing Kinect is one of the trickier things to do. I would post your arduino/ h-bridge question separately with its own title to improve chance of finding someone who's done that.
