2015-09-18 11:48:31 -0500 | commented answer | Can I run a bash script using roslaunch? +1; For those who may have missed the nuance here -- The advantage of doing it this way is that you are actually creating a ROS Node for your executable, and in this way you can tell the process is executing, and possibly control it. |

2012-08-11 20:46:03 -0500 | commented question | iRobot Create and BeagleBoard "Failed to open port /dev/ttyUSB0" You say you get trash through the serial port in minicom? During charging (in default, start-up Passive mode), you should be getting clear, regularly repeating battery status messages - something like: "bat: min 124 sec 24 mV 15864 mA -85 deg-C 43". Do you get that in minicom? |
2012-08-06 11:57:34 -0500 | answered a question | Ros serial protokoll white Microcontroller There is also "regular" rosserial, along with a (generic?) rosserial_client. On the other hand, an Arduino is just an AVR microcontroller on a standard breakout board. The rosserial page also lists the general protocol, but you'll need the node running to act as a bridge between ROS and the serial connection. |
2012-08-02 12:05:01 -0500 | answered a question | rosdep doesn't recognize OS ROS_OS_OVERRIDE does not (seem to) affect rosdep install. I don't know if this is by design or an oversight. However, I got it to work by manually setting the os override option on the command line when calling rosdep: This option will work with the other rosdep commands such as rosdep install. I did this (to trick rosdep for my Linaro/Ubuntu system): |

2012-07-17 09:52:36 -0500 | answered a question | Weired situation. I'm exactly following install tutorial but failed. I have been going through some similar issues trying to install on PandaBoard from source. The reason someone will need to install from source in Precise, is if they are on an ARM processor (i.e. BeagleBoard, PandaBoard, etc.) - no debian packages for ARM (yet*). As far as my understanding goes:
Sorry if that was a bit of an overload; hopefully it shines some light on what's going on. Also, related FYI: http://answers.ros.org/question/35602/ros-fuerte-pandaboard-ubuntu-1204-no-go/ *There might be |
2012-07-03 11:15:05 -0500 | answered a question | How to use ROS to control mobile Lego Mindstorms robots? (was: ROS on Lego NXT over Wifi) The Dexter NXT Wifi Sensor is just that - a sensor. So essentially, you will need to write your own proxy as ipso said, along with a corresponding program on the NXT that will read the "sensor" messages (i.e. whatever custom messages you send over Wifi), and react to control the motors/send back sensors. There is currently no way to connect directly to the NXT's immediate command API connection, as the USB and Bluetooth do. However, if you're in java already ... there is the Android NXT-Bluetooth SDK. |

2012-06-22 08:10:43 -0500 | commented answer | where did turtle_tf_sensor.launch go? Is this still the case? I can't seem to find the launch files for the mentioned tf::MessageFilter tutorial, or the Debugging tf tutorial right before it (start_debug_demo.launch), but maybe I'm looking in the wrong place. |

2012-06-22 07:42:36 -0500 | answered a question | Potential Python problem in Ubuntu 12.04 LTS 64Bit and fuerte? A couple people have been noticing/asking about this issue (http://answers.ros.org/question/34304/exception-attributeerror-when-starting-roscore/?answer=34307#post-id-34307). Apparently it is a Python-internal bug, which we just need to wait for the fix to be released (both tickets closed):
(Though, I have to wonder if it is related to any of the hiccups I've been encountering in some of the basic python tutorial/example code, e.g. tf, turtle_tf) |
