Send data from robot to PC for Visualization

edit

Hey there, Try to follow the following steps :

1. First thing you’ll need is a wireless connection between your robot and your pc. You can connect both to the same wifi network and that should do it. Also both of them should have a static ip address.
2. You’ll need to write these lines in your robot’s ~/.bashrc file. These lines will expose your ros master to the network and you can access this ros masters data from some other machine on the network.(robot ip should be replaced with actual robot ip and pc_ip with actual pc ip)

export ROS_MASTER_URI=http://robot_ip:11311 export ROS_IP=robot_ip export ROS_HOSTNAME=robot_ip Then you’ll need to write these lines in your pc’s ~/.bashrc file export ROS_MASTER_URI=http://robot_ip:11311 export ROS_IP=pc_ip export ROS_HOSTNAME=pc_ip

Now you source your ~/.bashrc in robot and start your code from that terminal.Source ~/.bashrc from your pc and try rostopic echo. If everything is done correctly you should be able to see all the topics. And now you can use them how ever you want.
