ScoutSoftwareStandalone
About
This page presents instructions and software for our customized versions of Nomadic Scouts. This customization was performed by IdMind and includes new electronics. The use of this robot requires an external laptop for running the main software. The driver nodes are launched using roslaunch.
Software
The source code can be found here: ros_scout-2.0.tgz.
All software was extensively in Ubuntu 12.04 and ROS Hydro (under rosbuild). Compatibility over different versions may not be guaranteed.
Hardware
Usage
Read the README file included in the above package.
Minor Notes
- It is considered that the rospackage joy is already installed:
sudo apt-get install ros-*VERSION*-joy
- By default the ubuntu user does not have permission to access the ttyUSBxx. It should be enough to add the user to the group dialout:
sudo adduser YOUR_USER dialout
