Building & Installing the ROS Node

  1. Place this package (including folders) into a new folder within your catkin workspace src/ folder.

  2. Modify the CMakeLists.txt to:

    • Select the PLATFORM to NONE for PC or RPI for RaspberryPi depending on your host platform

    • Select the INTERFACE to UART or SPI depending on the serial connection

    • NOTE: You *MUST* re-build using catkin_make when changing the PLATFORM or INTERFACE or making any changes in the CMakeLists.txt

  3. From the catkin workspace folder run catkin_make to build all changed ROS packages located in the <catkin_workspace>/src/ folder

  4. Reload the current ROS environment variables that may have changed after the catkin build process
    <catkin_workspace>/source devel/setup.bash
  5. Modify the appropriate roslaunch/XML in the launch folder to set your desired initialization parameters

    • Typically, only the dout_rate & filter_sel needs to be edited
