Hello All,
I have been trying to understand from the very beginning of this circus what the real problem was and where I could read about it, from 3d independant sources. Jose the programmer has done a poor job in pinning down the core of the problem. Here is a reprint that for my limited mental capacities defines the core quite well. I have asked Mike the author for some references, no lack of trust though. In my searches on the internet I had seen pieces directing to Mike's arguments but never connected the dots. After checking with Mike N4QLB, he has been able to hear me on ROS with a couple of hundred mW, he allowed me to post it here. --------------------------------------------------------- > -----Original Message----- > >From: n4qlb <n4...@...> > >Sent: Mar 5, 2010 1:15 PM > >To: [email protected] > >Subject: [ROSDIGITALMODEMGROUP] Re: How do you like ROS Now? > > > >Thank You for your comments Sig.
