Skeleton codes for F110 Fall 2018 course at UPenn.
In order to add the contents of this repository to your workspace on your local machine, do the following:
Clone this repository into a folder on your computer
$ cd ~/sandbox (or whatever folder you want to work in)
$ git clone https://github.com/mlab-upenn/f110-fall2018-skeletons.gitWe begin by creating a workspace. You can call your workspace anything, for the purposes of this setup guide we call our workspace f110_ws. In your root folder, execute these commands:
$ mkdir -p ~/f110_ws/srcCopy the contents of this repository into ~/f110_ws/src
$ cp -r f110-fall2018-skeletons f110_ws/srcYou will need to install these with apt-get in order for the car and Gazebo simulator to work.
$ sudo apt-get install ros-kinetic-ros-control ros-kinetic-ros-controllers ros-kinetic-gazebo-ros-control ros-kinetic-ackermann-msgs ros-kinetic-joyMake all the Python scripts executable (by default they are set to non-executable when downloaded from Github, or anywhere for that matter)
find . -name "*.py" -exec chmod +x {} \;Then build:
$ cd ~/f110_ws
$ catkin_makeThe generated devel and build folders at the root of the workspace are where the linked libraries and the compiled code in machine language resides. Source the environment using
$ source devel/setup.bashYou can now run a launch file using the following.
$ roslaunch gap_finding gap_finding_sim.launchTROUBLESHOOTING If for some reason you get a build error, try deleting the CMakeLists.txt file and running catkin_make again.
