This server reads data from PerceptionNeuron tracking system and publishes it to ROS.
It is a reorganised version of: https://github.com/smhaller/perception-neuron-ros Using the Neuron Data Reader SDK version b15.
Open windows cmd and run the following commands:
git clone https://github.com/eaa3/perception_neuron_ros_win_server.git
mkdir build
Run cmake-gui from cmd. Then, configure and generate a visual studio x86 solution
cmake-gui ..
Having generated visual studio solution, you may either run from the "build" directory:
cmake --build . --config Release
Alternatively, you can open the visual studio solution in the "build" directory and build it.
The generated executable will be at bin/perception_neuron_ros.exe in your project root directory.
Running instructions (adapted from here)
This repository contains two ROS Modules:
- a Windows ROS Serial Module, which sends the Perception Neuron BVH Data to a ROS Serial Server
- a ROS BVH tf broadcaster package.
On your windows machine:
- Connect your Perception Neuron to Axis Neuron and publish the BVH data.
- Adapt IP addresses for ROS Serial Server and Axis Neuron in bin/config.txt
- Start bin/perception_neuron_ros.exe
On your ROS machine:
- start roscore and ros serial server
- start perception_neuron_tf_broadcaster
