General Requirements / Dependencies

• ROS Kinetic Kame
• Python 2.7
• Catkin Tools

Refer to travis configuration for the breakdown of general installation workflow.

Working with the package

To streamline the workflow with the package, it is recommended to configure the environment as follows:

rosrun pwm_bringup env_setup.sh
# note: command requires functional workspace + package configuration beforehand.

This simply adds functional aliases to the ~/.bashrc.

Afterwards, the procedure is relatively straightforward. The following commands are exported:

ros_setup # shortcut to setup tcp/ip remote ros operations
finddev # list most serial devices
pwm-install-deps # install most system/ros dependencies in the machine
pwm-cd # navigate to package root
pwm-build # build pwm-related package only
pwm-list-rosdeps # list un-documented package exec dependencies
pwm-setup # runs a series of initial setup scripts for deployment, requires supervision

Generate Python Pip Requirements

sudo pip install pipreqs
pwm-cd && pipreqs . --print
