MiniPupper ROS2 Workspace

This workspace will get you set up using MiniPupper/ROS2 with VSCode as your IDE.

Prerequisites

You should already have Docker and VSCode with the remote containers plugin installed on your system.

Install the prerequisites
clone this repository git clone https://github.com/AlessioMorale/minipupper_ros2_devcontainer.git
Open the repository folder in VSCode and, when prompted, select reopen in devcontainer.
VSCode will proceed initialising the container, building the Dockerfile. This operation will take some time, especially with a slow connection.
Once the workspace opens, select Terminal > Run Task... and select setup. You can alternatively run setup.sh from the terminal.
wait for the code to be pulled, now src contains all source packages required to run Mini Pupper.
Select Terminal > Run Task... and select build. Wait for the build process to complete. You can alternatively run build.sh from the terminal.
Check the Mini Pupper README.md to find out how to use it.

See the detailed instruction from the awesome template from Allison Thackston used to build this workspace.

There are many pre-defined tasks, see .vscode/tasks.json for a complete listing. Feel free to adjust them to suit your needs.

This template sets up debugging for python files and gdb for cpp programs. See .vscode/launch.json for configuration details.
