hi there, I'm new to ROS and it was a bit hard for me to start with ROS because I used to program my robots on my own with some languages like C# or C++ and I didn't care about being global and so on. now I've got a costume robot which has a kinect and some sensors which are connected to some micro-controllers and i can receive their data through Serial-Port. my question is what are the steps to start with having ROS for my robot? I mean after I read the tutorials what should I do in general and step by step? from where should I start?

Regards

The TurtleBot software, tutorials and examples are definitely good sources of information for starters. Since you are mentioning the serial connection, you might also want to look at [rosserial](https://github.com/ros-infrastructure/answers.ros.org/issues/49).

I'd suggest you to take a look at ros_control. It's not yet officially released, but quite usable. These resources are currently available to give you an idea of what you can get from ros_control:
