Youbot ROS Groovy Setup

Sudo password is youbot

• Groovy Installation ros-desktop (On-line tutorial) Ubuntu 12.04 Precise

• Once installation completes, cd /etc/ssh, then: sudo ssh-keygen -f rsa ssh_host_rsa_key -C "youbot" sudo ssh-keygen -f dsa ssh_host_dsa_key -C "youbot" sudo ssh-keygen -f ecdsa ssh_host_ecdsa_key -C "youbot"

• Pinging between youbot and PC is now functioning (Using proper ip adresses)

• Edit /etc/hosts and add each pc/robots connected in the network (Check ips as they may change) Format: ip <user_name>

• export ROS_MASTER_URI=http://<master_host_ip>:11311 (For ALL clients/server)

• export ROS_HOSTNAME=<master_host_ip> (For server only, if problem in running roscore and launch, export rosip)

• sudo apt-get install ros-groovy-youbot-oodl ros-groovy-navigation ros-groovy-laser-drivers

• Before launching youbot_oodl, write: export YOUBOT_CONFIG_FOLDER_LOCATION=/opt/ros/groovy/etc/youbot_driver/config/ (in the bash file)

• Now it can be tested with rostopic pub ... (velocities using geometry twist message)
