Thanks to the help of the folks on this board, especially Robert: Part 1 - history as regular user on Unix host machine - In my case a old AMD-64 laptop running Ubuntu 12.04 - the 8 gig SD card had previous been formatted to a boot and regular partition, but the script run from this distribution will repartition and completely reformat the sd-card.

Pop the sd card out and then pop it back in. sync Rename the boot file so the card will boot to ubuntu, not the flash on the BBB. mv /media/BOOT/bbb-uEnv.txt uEnv.txt remove from laptop or host pc - insert in BBB logon ubuntu - temppwd PART 2 Connect bbb to an ehernet router and use shh from another machine to log in. edit /etc/apt/sources.list uncomment (edit out the # in front of debs for the alternates (there are two) sudo apt-get update go to http://wiki.ros.org/indigo/Installation/UbuntuARM I followed the instruction there. after base install and rosdep - roscd worked navigation stack said base would add 571MB The following packages will be upgraded: libdbus-1-3 1 upgraded, 298 newly installed, 0 to remove and 18 not upgraded. Need to get 138 MB of archives. After this operation, 571 MB of additional disk space will be used. Here is the history on the BBB: 1 cd /etc/apt 2 ls 3 vi sources.list (edit the debs_ 4 sudo apt-get update 5 sudo sh -c 'echo "deb http://packages.namniart.com/repos/ros trusty main" > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ros-latest.list' 6 wget http://packages.namniart.com/repos/namniart.key -O - | sudo apt-key add - 7 sudo apt-get update 8 sudo apt-get install ros-indigo-ros-base (took about 45m) 9 date (I needed to reset because the BBB didn't have the correct time, and I was getting warnings - but this isn't crtical) 10 cat /etc/os-release (check per instructions) 11 sudo apt-get install python-rosdep 12 sudo rosdep init 13 rosdep update 14 echo "source /opt/ros/indigo/setup.bash" >> ~/.bashrc 15 source ~/.bashrc 16 roscd 17 sudo apt-get install ros-indigo-navigation 18 sudo apt-get install python-rosinstall 19 history Test to see if roxcore and roscd work. After that I created the catkin_ws, added ROS_ARDUINO_BRIDGE - and got that up and running. mkdir -p ~/catkin_ws/src cd ~/catkin_ws/src catkin_init_workspace cd .. catkin_make (edit ./bashrc so last line is source ~/catkin_ws/devel/setup.bash then make sure you source ~/.bashrc cd /catkin_ws/src git clone https://github.com/hbrobotics/ros_arduino_bridge.git cd .. catkin_make (takes about 5 minutes) cd src/ros_arduino_bridge (there is a README.md file there that has further instructions. In brief, sudo apt-get install python-serial sudo usermod -a -G dialout "Your_user_name" cd ros_arduino_pyhton/config cp arduino_params.yaml my_arduino_params.yaml edit my_arduino_params.yaml and change ttyACM0 to ttyUSB0 roslaunch ros_arduino_python arduino.launch should run, assuming you have an arduino with the sketch loaded. -- For more options, visit http://beagleboard.org/discuss --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "BeagleBoard" group.
