6.1 ROS
6.1.1 Installation
Requirements
If you have never set it up, you probably need to add your linux user to the
dialout
group to grant right
access to the serial port resources. To do so, just open a terminal and execute the following command:
sudo gpasswd -a <user_name> dialout
where you need to replace the
<user_name>
with your current linux username.
Ubuntu Packages
If you prefer to leave your catkin workspace as it is, you can simply install all the ROS packages from the
Ubuntu official repositories:
sudo apt update
sudo apt install ros-<your-ros-distro>-qb-move
qb SoftClaw ROS packages are compatible with both Melodic and Noetic releases. For EOL
kinetic release download the packages from our Bitbucket
5
.
don't forget to logout or reboot.
qb SoftClaw nodes are derived from qbmove ones. If you have already installed them just
upgrade to the new version or verify if you can launch SoftClaw control nodes.
