Hi there, i am working to a robot similar to iRobot and i've seen ROS navigation on youtube and i'm impressed. So i what to use it on my robot but i dont know if ROS is compatible with PIC 16/18 microcontroller that i am using. Please tell me if i can use it and recommand me some tutorials. Have a nice day and thx for help
ROS is designed to run on full computers; not microcontrollers.
You need a full computer with at least several hundred MB of RAM (1GB is better) and a reasonably fast processor (1GHz+) to run navigation.
You may be able to port rosserial to your PIC and use it to pass control signals to and from a PC running ROS.
EDIT:
For Linux, I recommend downloading and installing Ubuntu. It's very easy and ROS is well-supported on ubuntu.
For ROS in general, start with the ROS Tutorials.
You'll want to either write a custom protocol and driver node to communicate with your PIC, or port rosserial to the PIC and use the rosserial driver to communicate over a serial port.
I'm sorry if i didn't express myself clear. I mean sincronizing my pc with ros on it with my Pic 16/18. I have little to nothing knowledge about linux so maybe someone could send me some documentation about ros because i didn't find something compact, i need something from A to Z(some introduction part to final part), because all i found 'till now were incomplete documentations. Thanks
