Hi everyone I am very new to robotics and embedded systems. My goal is to build a small indoor ground robot that uses a Neato XV - 11 Lidar to build a map of its surroundings. I am using a Raspberry Pi 2 for interfacing the robot with the Lidar.

I am completely lost on where to start. I was able to find the following package for hector SLAM http://wiki.ros.org/hector_slam but I'm not too sure where to go from there. How do I install ROS on the Raspberry Pi 2? What version of ROS should I use and why? How do I send information from the Pi to my laptop? Do I need to install ROS on my laptop as well?

I just need some advice on how to start and where to look.

Thank you
