ROS support now becomes HROS.
http://www.ros.org/news/2016/10/hardware-robot-operating-system-h-ros.html

I think that's good news for those looking for simple plugging of robot components...

Thanks for clarification and very nice to hear that ROS will be in the Arbotix-Pro boat! That saves me work.

There are so few robotics microcontroller boards with ROS integration and I can't...

Do you mean something like a customized firmware with ROS-bindings or another stack on top of the default CM-730 firmware
communictating over usb to outside and over firmware to inside? Like a...

ok, let's wait and see.

Hi all,

will there be ROS-support for the upcoming Arbotix Pro?
And will the Arbotix-M disappear if Arbotix Pro is out?

This is a nice picture of a workflow for managing such things. Thanks for pointing into the right direction, tician.

Ok, I'll give it a try. In the arbotix-ros firmware there's a user_hooks.h. Is this the place to start, or is it better to create a custom.h and include it into ros.ino?

Hi tician,

I don't (yet) have an Arbotix-M. Let's say I've an Arbotix V0.9 for Rev A Boards which is depicted in arbotix-manual-draft2.pdf.
The Sharp distance sensors were just an example for a...

Hi,

I want to use an ir transmitter/receiver on my ros-enabled Arbotix2.

Following are the sensors I have:
Seeed Studio Grove - Infrared Receiver
Seeed Studio Grove - Infrarot Emitter

Is...

After banging around a bit I found a solution, thanks tician.

1. Call service SetupChannel-type
2. Publish Digital.msg-type

It doesn't matter if the Digital.msg publisher already publishes to...

Ok, publishing a Digital.msg for the pin "after" the service call I never tried. I'll try it.

This is the command I used in the beginning of my tests with various options like -r 10:

rostopic...

tician, thanks for the explanation. For my understanding can we brake down the options to either:
1. Hardcode the OUTPUT-direction in the .py sources
2. Leave it dimmed and go home.

I don't...

I use ros.ino from version 0.9.2 https://github.com/vanadiumlabs/arbotix_ros-release. There are no nodes switching the LED. I was just testing with the following command:

rosservice call...

no ideas?

Hi all,

I want to use an LED on PIN6 or any other of the digital pins on my Arbotix2. My problem is, that the LED is very much dimmed in ROS when using rosservice call SetupDigitalOut/In when...

Ok, I'll keep the launch files in mind.
Now I've punched the above solution on my raspberry pi compiled everything and it works but I got ik solutions at about 55 seconds and the arm motion is not...

"test.py" means "simple_arm_server_test.py" (originally written by Michael Ferguson :-)). I did what you wrote and it works.
-Cloned simple_arm_server.py 2 times to left_arm_server.py and...

Hi,

I'm running the simple_arm_server ((2x3-DOF) 6-DOF test.py) on an arbotix controlled bioloid humanoid, but it currently only works with one 3-DOF arm. Does anyone know how to configure things...
