News about the software developed for MyzharBot
Writing the documentation for the last configurations of MyzharBot I noticed that the information about ROS framework were growing too much.So since today you can find all the documentation to install, to configure and to use the ROS framework with MyzharBot in the section “MyzharBot & ROS” under “Software“.
The guide to install OpenNI2 library on NVidia Jetson TK1 has been updated with the instruction to add the RGB-D sensor Asus Xtion Pro Live to the ROS framework. You can find the full guide in the software section. The next step will see the generation of the RGB Point…
After a lot of tentatives and many failures, I finally compiled correctly the OpenNI2 library for the NVidia Jetson TK1 to make working the RGB-D sensor “Asus Xtion Pro Live”. In the following two pictures you can see the sensor connected to the Jetson TK1 and the tool NiViewer running. The…
Recently NVidia has released the version 21.2.1 of Linux for Tegra available for the NVidia Jetson TK1. Just a few days after Santyago Jarzebski released the updated version of its amazing “TheGrinch” custom kernel that has fully Wifi capabilities that lack in the original NVidia’s kernel. Today I updated the NVidia Jetson…
MyzharBot has started the migration to a new software configuration. Everything started from the uNav project by Officine Robotiche. Since MyzharBot is part of the new born italian amateur robotics group named “Officine Robotiche“, in the last few months we worked together to unify the software that drives the robots…
Finally the ROS node to interface with the ST iNemo-M1 Discovery is ready and we can get information about the accelerations and the rotation speed of the robot directly from the board.
The work for the iNemo Challenge is going on and the ROS node to acquire Inertial data from the iNemo-M1 sensor is almost ready. The serial protocol realized by ST to communicate with the board is really well done, but you need a lot of accuracy implementing the driver, to…
A new video about MyzharBot and ROS is available on YouTube. The video demonstrates how the robot can be remotely controlled using the brand new Keyboard Teleoperation node. The node can be used to move manually the robot or to suddenly take manual control when something goes wrong in autonomous…
It’s been a while since the last post, but the work of MyzharBot has not stopped … I just had no time to write something on the site, busy at 100% writing C++ code for the migration to ROS. At present the ROS node to control MyzharBot through RoboController board is ready (modbus driver using…
Here is the video of the first “steps” made by MyzharBot under ROS. In the last days I wrote down the code for the rosnode that will provide motor control: robocontroller_node. Using the “turtle_teleop_key” node, included in ROS, I tested that the communication between ROS and RoboController board was ok… and…
