Hands-On ROS for Robotics Programming

Case study 1 – writing a ROS distance-sensor package

In this section, you will create a ROS package from scratch and produce the code to provide minimal ROS functionality with GoPiGo3, that is, reading its distance sensor. Be aware that the code you previously cloned at this location is the working solution for what your code is expected to do:

We encourage you to try to build the ROS package by yourself, following the explanations that are provided next in this chapter.
