Status
EXPERIMENTAL: This status indicates that this software is experimental code at best. There are known issues and missing functionality. The APIs are completely unstable and likely to change. Use in production systems is not recommended. All code starts at this level. For more information see the ROS-Industrial software status page. |
Overview
This stack is part of the ROS-Industrial program. It contains experimental packages that will be moved to the abb package once they've received sufficient testing and review.
Compatibility
Packages in distribution branches (ie: $ROS_DISTRO-devel) may be expected to be compatible with the corresponding ROS distribution (ie: the indigo-devel branch is usable on Indigo). In the absence of major differences between subsequent ROS releases, the -devel branch may be expected to be compatible with the next release as well (ie: indigo-devel may be used on Jade, as long as no jade-devel branch exists).
Installation
As all the packages in this repository are experimental, they will not be released through the official channels and must be build from source after cloning into a catkin workspace.
In a catkin workspace:
1 cd /path/to/catkin_ws/src
2
3 # retrieve the latest development version of abb and abb_experimental
4 # NOTE: you MUST use the '-devel' version of abb
5 git clone -b $ROS_DISTRO-devel https://github.com/ros-industrial/abb.git
6 git clone -b $ROS_DISTRO-devel https://github.com/ros-industrial/abb_experimental.git
7
8 cd /path/to/catkin_ws
9
10 # checking dependencies
11 rosdep install --from-paths src --ignore-src --rosdistro $ROS_DISTRO
12
13 # building
14 catkin_make
15
16 # source this workspace (only if you don't have any others)
17 source /path/to/catkin_ws/devel/setup.bash
1 cd /path/to/catkin_ws/src
2
3 # retrieve the latest development version of industrial_core. If you'd rather
4 # use the latest released version, replace 'kinetic-devel' with 'kinetic'
5 git clone -b kinetic-devel https://github.com/ros-industrial/industrial_core.git
6
7 # retrieve the latest development version of abb and abb_experimental
8 # NOTE: you MUST use the '-devel' version of abb
9 git clone -b kinetic-devel https://github.com/ros-industrial/abb.git
10 git clone -b kinetic-devel https://github.com/ros-industrial/abb_experimental.git
11
12 cd /path/to/catkin_ws
13
14 # checking dependencies
15 rosdep install --from-paths src --ignore-src --rosdistro $ROS_DISTRO
16
17 # building
18 catkin_make
19
20 # source this workspace (only if you don't have any others)
21 source /path/to/catkin_ws/devel/setup.bash
