Station 2

This is the ground control package. It contains all the tools nessesary for controlling the rover.

Setup Instructions

To install first make sure you have the dependecies. The First is ROS, which we use for almost everything on the rover. The second is for encoding video. The third is Kivy, which is what the UI is written in.

ROS: follow the instructions here
x264: $ apt-get install libx264-dev
Cython: $ python -m pip install cython --user
Pygame: $ python -m pip install pygame --user
Kivy: $ python -m pip install kivy --user
Kivy Garden: $ python -m pip install kivy-garden --user
Kivy Knob: $ garden install knob
ROS Joy: $ sudo apt-get install ros-kinetic-joy
libqt (required by Nimbro): $ apt-get install libqt4-dev
qmake (required by Nimbro): $ apt-get install qt4-qmake

Note: ROS Kinetic requires the python 2 versions of all modules.

Then clone the repository, and run the unpack.sh command located within.

This will setup your catkin workspace for development.

Running "remote" launch files

Current status is: not working but close.

For now, just ssh into the remote and run the main launch file. Then on the local machine, run:

export ROS_MASTER_URI=http://tegra-ubuntu:11311/

And then any nodes you run on your local machine will automatically connect to the remote machine.
