[Discourse.ros.org] [OpenEmbedded] Support for Robots in meta-ros

[Javier V Gomez]

Hi Lukas,

I think it is a good idea to include robots, specially those used by many 
people as the Turtlebot. In the case of my company, we did a workaround to 
avoid writing recipes for the Turtlebot as we just wanted to do some quick 
tests.Having these would have been useful.

However, I am not sure whether it should be included in the same meta-ros 
repository. On one side I think it makes sense, to avoid further 
synchronization problems, but I do not see any hardware-specific recipe in the 
repo.

Best,
Javier V. Gomez

[Discourse.ros.org] [OpenEmbedded] Support for Robots in meta-ros

[Lukas Bulwahn]

Dear meta-ros users,

in the past, I have been contacted in private if meta-ros could include the 
kobuki_base packages.

So far, there were no recipes for specific robots in meta-ros, such as the 
kobuki, turtlebot or PR2, mostly because I do not have any robot at my desk. 
However, I could spend some time creating the recipes. If there are no major 
issues to cross-compile the package, the recipes should be easy and quick to 
get done.

Hence before getting started on that activity, I have two questions:

- Are you interested to have support for a specific robot?

We will of course start with the recipes for the robot that is most useful for 
the majority of the meta-ros users.

- Have you already developed some recipes for some robot?

Please let us know here, so that we do not duplicate our efforts.

Best regards,

Lukas
