Re: [Dorset] ROS (Robot Operating System)

2021-12-01 Thread Hugh Frater
I do remember looking at it for a motion control application I was working
on but decided to spin my own instead. I seem to recall it was a bit of a
large hammer in relation to the small nut that was my problem.

I was looking to run it on a BBB as that's our platform of choice.

What does it run on? I'm vaguely curious and have a spare Pi 1, so if 
I can run it on that I might give it a try sometime. I don't know 
anything about it though.


Hamish



The Documentation is very poor about how you would run it on a R-Pi. 
That's one of my first problems with it.


Peter


Ah, I see.

For some reason I assumed it was real time, but it seems not. Also, it 
does say it runs on Linux, as it's more middleware than an OS itself. If 
you didn't find it already, http://wiki.ros.org/ROSberryPi looks 
potentially useful.

What does it run on? I'm vaguely curious and have a spare Pi 1, so if I can run 
it on that I might give it a try sometime. I don't know anything about it 
though.

of my first problems with it.
