Hey folks! This week, we're gonna focus on getting some passing familiarity with ROS2.
- First things first, read through the ROS2 Concepts Overview (it's a quick read, I promise). If you only do one thing this week for Rover, make it reading and really digesting this.
- Reading the links at the top is optional, but certainly worthwhile.
- There will probably be some stuff that you might not fully understand, but that's totally alright! We'll get there.
- Next week, we're gonna be doing the "Beginner" Tutorials from here, starting with CLI Tools. If you'd like, you can get a headstart (I'd especially recommend trying out the Introducing turtlesim and rqt tutorial in your local setup before hand, to make sure your development environment is working properly).
- If you don't want to build the docker container yourself, I've pushed a fresh build to both
luckierdodge/ros2_foxy:latest
andniurover/ros2_foxy:latest
. So you can just uselaunch.sh
in the Dockerfiles repo immediately after cloning, and it'll pull the latest image.
