Arduino_Raspberry_ROS_Car Tutorials

chapter 1: Construction A ROS Car

Download codes from Git:

git clone https://github.com/COONEO/Arduino_Raspberry_ROS_Car.git

Step One: Download programs for Arduino Mega 2560

Install Arduino IDE in your computer and add library where in Arduino_mega_2560_code/relative_library folder.than,download the code into your Arduino_mega_2560 board.

ps:新增了适配我们Arduino扩展板的程序，见文件夹 “RobotPIDDriver_tb6612”。配置过程参见如下的两篇微信公众号推文。

如果你使用的是Arduino 大功率电机及驱动器扩展板，那么烧录的程序就应该在该目录下：

Arduino_mega_2560_code/Arduino_mega_2560大功率电机扩展板_code/Arduino-大功率电机驱动板_PID调速_ROS/RobotPIDDriver

具体的步骤，该文件夹中有图片提示。

Step Two: FLASH OS and LAUNCH ROS NODE

1.flash Ubuntu OS into your Pi 4B board (By Win32DiskImager.exe)

The OS img can be finding in our Wechat Official Account COONEO. Process like this:

launch ROS node in Raspberry Pi

#connect Raspberry Pi and Arduino
sudo chmod 0777 /dev/ttyACM0

#open a Terminal &&  download codes
git clone https://github.com/COONEO/Arduino_Raspberry_ROS_Car.git

# copy ROS node in your home folder
cp -r Arduino_Raspberry_ROS_car/Raspberry_Pi_ROS_Node/catkin_ws ~/

# change *.py file's permission 
sudo chmod 0777 Arduino_Raspberry_ROS_car/Raspberry_Pi_ROS_Node/catkin_ws/src/ros_arduino_bridge/ros_arduino_python/src/ros_arduino_python/*
sudo chmod 0777 Arduino_Raspberry_ROS_car/Raspberry_Pi_ROS_Node/catkin_ws/src/ros_arduino_bridge/ros_arduino_python/nodes/arduino_node.py

cd catkin_ws
catkin_make
source devel/setup.bash
roslaunch ros_arduino_python arduino.launch

In the end,you can publish Topic "cmd_vel" msg to control ROS car runnning。

chapter 2: Gmapping with Arduino_Raspnerry_Car

Step 1 : launch gmapping launch file and watching.

# open a Terminal 
cd catkin_ws
source devel/setup.bash
roslaunch launch_file gmapping_ekf.launch

# open a Rviz && Visual a map
rosrun rviz rviz

Step 2 : save the map

# open a Terminal 
# cd in your folder,P.S.
cd catkin_ws/src/launch_file/map/
rosrun map_server map_saver -f your_map_name

and then,the folder will create two files,they are your_map_name.pgm && your_map_name.yaml file.

chapter 3 : Run ROS navigation stack

Step 1 : launch navigation_ekf.launch file.

# open a Terminal
cd catkin_ws
source devel/setup.bash
roslaunch launch_file navigation_ekf.launch

# and open another Terminal
rosrun rviz rviz

select topics like this in Rviz.

and then,click the "2D Nav Goal" button to select a Goal pose.for details,please see the "demo_videos/03_ROS_Navigation_function.mp4" file.

Chapter 4 : Fire detect

# open a Terminal
cd catkin_ws
source devel/setup.bash
fire_detect_cpp.launch   #or "fire_detect.launch"

# and open another Terminal
rosrun rviz rviz

for more details,please see the "demo_videos/04_Fire_detect_based_on_color.mp4" file. or search the "COONEO" in your Bilibili.

chapter 5 : automatic following the line

Step 1 : launch the ros_arduino_bridge node.

# open a terminal 
cd catkin_ws
source devel/setup.bash

roslaunch ros_arduino_python arduino.launch

Step 2 : launch the line_track launch file.

# open another terminal 
cd catkin_ws
source devel/setup.bash
roslaunch line_track linetrack_red.launch
