ROS Template

A template repo. So that I don't have to repeat the same process every time I want to code a ROS node.

Prerequisites

You will need a Python2 virtualenv:

sudo pip2 install -U virtualenv virtualenvwrapper

On Ubuntu do:

echo "# Virtual Environment Wrapper"  >> ~/.bashrc
echo "source /usr/local/bin/virtualenvwrapper.sh" >> ~/.bashrc
source ~/.bashrc

And on Mac:

echo "# Virtual Environment Wrapper"  >> ~/.bash_profile
echo "source /usr/local/bin/virtualenvwrapper.sh" >> ~/.bash_profile
source ~/.bash_profile

Then finally:

mkvirtualenv <project_name>-py2 -p python2
workon <project_name>-py2

Where once activated you install from the repo:

pip install -r requirements.txt

Setup

Clone this repository into ~/catkin_ws/src and run catkin build from ~/catkin_ws.
