linorobot 
Linorobot is a suite of Open Source ROS compatible robots that aims to provide students, developers, and researchers a low-cost platform in creating new exciting applications on top of ROS.
Tutorial
You can read the full tutorial how to build your robot here.
Multiplatform
Supports multiple types of robot base:
- 2WD
- 4WD
- Ackermann Steering
- Mecanum drive
Works on:
- ROS Indigo (Ubuntu 14.04)
- ROS Kinetic (Ubuntu 16.04)
Hardware
Fabricate your own Teensy 3.1/3.2 shield,
or wire it on your own. Wiring diagrams are also provided.
Supported IMUs:
- GY-85
- MPU6050
- MPU9150
- MPU9250
The IMU drivers are based on i2cdevlib.
Supported Motor Drivers:
- L298 (MAX: 35V, 2A)
- BTS7960 (MAX: 24V, 43A)
- Electronic Speed Controllers (ESC) w/ Reverse. This has been tested to control brushless motors used in RC cars and hoverboards.
Supported ROS Compatible Sensors:
- XV11 Lidar
- RPLidar
- Intel RealSense R200
- Kinect
Tested on Linux compatible ARM dev boards:
- Raspberry Pi 3
- Jetson TK1
- Jetson TX1
- Odroid XU4
- Radxa Rock Pro
**Technically this should also work with any ARM dev board at least (1GB RAM) that runs Ubuntu Trusty or Xenial.
