1 | initial version |
I think a convenient solution is using a Raspberry Pi 2 for your robot. ROS can now be installed using Ubuntu 14.04 for ARM (see Ubuntu install instructions and ROS Ubuntu Arm install instructions).
Using this approach, the amount of fiddling with toolchains, compilation etc. is fairly minimal. The system is very lightweight and small and can for instance be powered conveniently via a powerbank during experiments.
