How to install ROS2

rolling, humble, galactic, foxy

How to configuring your ROS 2 environment

Configuring your ROS 2 environment

How to Create a ROS2 workspace

ROS2 Tutorials Creating a workspace

  1. example, choose the directory name ros2_ws, for “development workspace” :
   mkdir -p ~/ros2_ws/src
   cd ~/ros2_ws/src

Compile & Install rplidar_ros package

  1. Clone rplidar_ros package from github

    Ensure you’re still in the ros2_ws/src directory before you clone:

   git clone -b ros2 https://github.com/Slamtec/rplidar_ros.git

  1. Build rpidar_ros package

    From the root of your workspace (ros2_ws), you can now build rplidar_ros package using the command:

   cd ~/ros2_ws/
   source /opt/ros/<rosdistro>/setup.bash
   colcon build --symlink-install

if you find output like “colcon:command not found”,you need separate install colcon build tools.

  1. Package environment setup
    source ./install/setup.bash
    

Note: Add permanent workspace environment variables.
It's convenientif the ROS2 environment variables are automatically added to your bash session every time a new shell is launched:

    $echo "source <your_own_ros2_ws>/install/setup.bash" >> ~/.bashrc
    $source ~/.bashrc

  1. Create udev rules for rplidar

    rplidar_ros running requires the read and write permissions of the serial device. You can manually modify it with the following command:

   sudo chmod 777 /dev/ttyUSB0

But a better way is to create a udev rule:

```bash cd src/rpldiar_ros/ source scripts/create_udev_rules.sh

Configuring your ROS 2 environment

How to Create a ROS2 workspace

ROS2 Tutorials Creating a workspace

  1. example, choose the directory name ros2_ws, for “development workspace” :
   mkdir -p ~/ros2_ws/src
   cd ~/ros2_ws/src

Compile & Install rplidar_ros package

  1. Clone rplidar_ros package from github

    Ensure you’re still in the ros2_ws/src directory before you clone:

   git clone -b ros2 https://github.com/Slamtec/rplidar_ros.git

  1. Build rpidar_ros package

    From the root of your workspace (ros2_ws), you can now build rplidar_ros package using the command:

   cd ~/ros2_ws/
   source /opt/ros/<rosdistro>/setup.bash

if you find output like “colcon:command not found”,you need separate install colcon build tools.

  1. Package environment setup
    source ./install/setup.bash
    

Note: Add permanent workspace environment variables.
It's convenientif the ROS2 environment variables are automatically added to your bash session every time a new shell is launched:

    $echo "source <your_own_ros2_ws>/install/setup.bash" >> ~/.bashrc
    $source ~/.bashrc

  1. Create udev rules for rplidar

    rplidar_ros running requires the read and write permissions of the serial device. You can manually modify it with the following command:

   sudo chmod 777 /dev/ttyUSB0

But a better way is to create a udev rule:

```bash cd src/rpldiar_ros/ source scripts/create_udev_rules.sh

  1. example, choose the directory name ros2_ws, for “development workspace” :
   mkdir -p ~/ros2_ws/src
   cd ~/ros2_ws/src

Compile & Install rplidar_ros package

  1. Clone rplidar_ros package from github

    Ensure you’re still in the ros2_ws/src directory before you clone:

   git clone -b ros2 https://github.com/Slamtec/rplidar_ros.git

  1. Build rpidar_ros package

    From the root of your workspace (ros2_ws), you can now build rplidar_ros package using the command:

   cd ~/ros2_ws/

   colcon build --symlink-install

if you find output like “colcon:command not found”,you need separate install colcon build tools.

  1. example, choose the directory name ros2_ws, for “development workspace” :
   mkdir -p ~/ros2_ws/src
   cd ~/ros2_ws/src

Compile & Install rplidar_ros package

  1. Clone rplidar_ros package from github

    Ensure you’re still in the ros2_ws/src directory before you clone:

   git clone -b ros2 https://github.com/Slamtec/rplidar_ros.git

  1. Build rpidar_ros package

    From the root of your workspace (ros2_ws), you can now build rplidar_ros package using the command:

   cd ~/ros2_ws/
   source /opt/ros/<rosdistro>/setup.bash
   colcon build --symlink-install

if you find output like “colcon:command not found”,you need separate install colcon build tools.

  1. Package environment setup
    source ./install/setup.bash
    

Note: Add permanent workspace environment variables.
It's convenientif the ROS2 environment variables are automatically added to your bash session every time a new shell is launched:

    $echo "source <your_own_ros2_ws>/install/setup.bash" >> ~/.bashrc
    $source ~/.bashrc

  1. Create udev rules for rplidar

    rplidar_ros running requires the read and write permissions of the serial device. You can manually modify it with the following command:

   sudo chmod 777 /dev/ttyUSB0

But a better way is to create a udev rule:

```bash cd src/rpldiar_ros/ source scripts/create_udev_rules.sh

How to build rplidar ros package

1) Clone this project to your catkin’s workspace src folder 2) Running catkin_make to build rplidarNode and rplidarNodeClient

How to run rplidar ros package

There’re two ways to run rplidar ros package

I. Run rplidar node and view in the rviz

The command for RPLIDAR A1 is :

roslaunch rplidar_ros view_rplidar_a1.launch

The command for RPLIDAR A2M7 is :

roslaunch rplidar_ros view_rplidar_a2m7.launch

The command for RPLIDAR A2M8 is :

roslaunch rplidar_ros view_rplidar_a2m8.launch

The command for RPLIDAR A2M12 is :

roslaunch rplidar_ros view_rplidar_a2m12.launch

The command for RPLIDAR A3 is :

roslaunch rplidar_ros view_rplidar_a3.launch

The command for RPLIDAR S1 is :

roslaunch rplidar_ros view_rplidar_s1.launch

The command for RPLIDAR S2 is :

roslaunch rplidar_ros view_rplidar_s2.launch

The command for RPLIDAR S3 is :

roslaunch rplidar_ros view_rplidar_s3.launch

The command for RPLIDAR S2E is :

roslaunch rplidar_ros view_rplidar_s2e.launch

The command for RPLIDAR T1 is :

roslaunch rplidar_ros view_rplidar_t1.launch

The command for RPLIDAR C1 is :

roslaunch rplidar_ros view_rplidar_c1.launch

You should see rplidar’s scan result in the rviz.

II. Run rplidar node and view using test application

The command for RPLIDAR A1 is :

roslaunch rplidar_ros rplidar_a1.launch

How to build rplidar ros package

1) Clone this project to your catkin's workspace src folder
2) Running catkin_make to build rplidarNode and rplidarNodeClient

How to run rplidar ros package

There’re two ways to run rplidar ros package

I. Run rplidar node and view in the rviz

roslaunch rplidar_ros view_rplidar.launch (for RPLIDAR A1/A2) or roslaunch rplidar_ros view_rplidar_a3.launch (for RPLIDAR A3)

You should see rplidar’s scan result in the rviz.

II. Run rplidar node and view using test application

roslaunch rplidar_ros rplidar.launch (for RPLIDAR A1/A2) or roslaunch rplidar_ros rplidar_a3.launch (for RPLIDAR A3)

rosrun rplidar_ros rplidarNodeClient

You should see rplidar’s scan result in the console

Notice: the different is serial_baudrate between A1/A2 and A3
