Installing

From binaries

This assumes you have already installed a ROS distribution from binaries, setting up your package sources in the process. To install the asctec_drivers stack from binaries, run the following command:

   1 sudo apt-get install ros-DISTRO-asctec-drivers

Replace DISTRO with the ROS distribution you have installed. Currently, we support curtle, diamondback, and unstable.

From git (download-and-compile)

Alternatively, you can download our code from git and compile yourself.

First, make sure you have git installed:

   1 sudo apt-get install git-core

Next, download the asctec_drivers stack and the required dependencies from our repo. Make sure to include the correct directories to the $ROS_PACKAGE_PATH, as defined by your ROS setup.sh file.

   1 git clone http://robotics.ccny.cuny.edu/git/ccny-ros-pkg/asctec_drivers.git
   2 git clone http://robotics.ccny.cuny.edu/git/ccny-ros-pkg/mav_tools.git

To build the asctec_drivers stack, run:

   1 rosmake asctec_drivers --rosdep-install
