==Rosdep Initialization (Only ROS Groovy)==
 +
 +
Before of to use ROS we must initialize rosdep which allows us easily to install the  source system dependencies that we want to compile and also is necessary for execute some basic components of ROS.
 +
 +
<syntaxhighlight lang=Bash>sudo rosdep init
 +
rosdep update</syntaxhighlight>
 +

==Create a ROS Workspace in ROS Fuerte==
 +
 +
* '''Create a new workspace'''
 +
With the next command we go to create a workspace in ~/fuerte_workspace which inherits the set of installed packages in /opt/ros/fuerte
 +
 +
<syntaxhighlight lang=Bash>rosws init ~/fuerte_workspace /opt/ros/fuerte</syntaxhighlight>
 +
 +
'''NOTE: ''' rosw is a type of rosintall package which doesn't install default. if we haven't  installed rosintall in the last steps, we must do with the next command
 +
 +
<syntaxhighlight lang=Bash>sudo apt-get install python-rosinstall</syntaxhighlight>
 +
 +
* '''Create a sandbox directory for the new packages'''
 +
When we create a new package we always must put it in a directory that is in the enviroment variable ROS_PACKAGE_PATH. All the directories that are added with rosw is added automatically to this variable. For this. we create a sandbox directory to which we will add the hide file .rosinstall with rosw
 +
 +
We create the sandbox directory in our workspace created before and we add to the workspace
 +
 +
<syntaxhighlight lang=Bash>mkdir ~/fuerte_workspace/sandbox
 +
rosws set ~/fuerte_workspace/sandbox</syntaxhighlight>
 +
 +
Each time that the entries of workspace change it, is necessary to do a re-source
 +
 +
<syntaxhighlight lang=Bash>source ~/fuerte_workspace/setup.bash</syntaxhighlight>
 +
 +
Also, it is advisable to add the last line to the file ~/.bashrc just after the line to which already added at the beginning of installation for haven't execute each time we starts our computer.
 +
 +
To confirm that our path has been modified we can execute the next line
 +
 +
<syntaxhighlight lang=Bash>$ echo $ROS_PACKAGE_PATH</syntaxhighlight>
 +
 +
and we must obtain a output similar to this
 +
 +
<syntaxhighlight lang=Bash>/home/your_user_name/fuerte_workspace/sandbox:/opt/ros/fuerte/share:/opt/ros/fuerte/stacks</syntaxhighlight>
 +
 +
==Create a ROS Workspace in ROS Groovy==
 +
 +
* '''Create a new workspace'''
 +
 +
With the next command we go to create a workspace in ~/catkin_ws which inherits the set of installed packages in /opt/ros/groovy
 +
 +
<syntaxhighlight lang=Bash>mkdir -p ~/catkin_ws/src
 +
cd ~/catkin_ws/src
 +
catkin_init_workspace</syntaxhighlight>
 +
 +
Initially our workspace is empty, only have a CmakeList.txt in the src directory. For make the workspace execute
 +
 +
<syntaxhighlight lang=Bash>cd ~/catkin_ws/
 +
catkin_make</syntaxhighlight>
 +
 +
Finally, we configure the enviroment variabble to take into consideration our new workspace, for this execute
 +
 +
<syntaxhighlight lang=Bash>source ~/catkin_ws/devel/setup.bash</syntaxhighlight>
 +
 +
For to do this change continuous we can add the previous line to end of file ''~/.bashrc''

=Phantom Omni Package Installation on ROS Fuerte & ROS Groovy=
 +
 +
==Requirements==
 +
 +
Phantom Omni Device
 +
 +
OpenHaptics SDK, you can download [http://dsc.sensable.com/ here].
 +
 +
Go to Software Downloads in Linux Drivers section and download the version 3.0
 +
 +
==PDD Installation and Configuration (Phantom Device Drivers)==
 +
 +
* '''Installation'''
 +
 +
For install the drivers we go to directory OpenHapticsAE_Linux_v3_0/OpenHaptics-AE 3.0/32-bit from terminal and execute the next command (if our computer warns us that alien isn't installed we can install it with '''sudo apt-get install alien''')
 +
 +
<syntaxhighlight lang=Bash>sudo dpkg -i phantomdevicedrivers_4.3-3_i386.deb</syntaxhighlight>
 +
 +
* '''Phantom Haptic Device Interface Installation by IEEE1394 Fireware port'''
 +
 +
In this point is where we would to load raw1394 module in the kernel. Due to the change of the old driver stack (video1394, raw1394, etc) for the new driver stack (firewire.core, firewire-ohci). From the Ubuntu vesion 11.04, we will download the new beta drivers adapted to the new drivers stack.
 +
 +
We can donwnload it from [http://dsc.sensable.com/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=1283 forums of Sensable]
 +
 +
Once downloaded we must to copy the file included in the package "libPHANToMIO.so.4.3" into /usr/lib directory and overwrite the old file.
 +
 +
<syntaxhighlight lang=Bash>sudo cp libPHANToMIO.so.4.3 /usr/lib</syntaxhighlight>
 +
 +
Create symbol links to the previous library with the libraries called libPHANToMIO.so and  libPHANToMIO.so.4 into /usr/lib directory
 +
 +
<syntaxhighlight lang=Bash>sudo ln -s  libPHANToMIO.so.4.3  libPHANToMIO.so
 +
sudo ln -s  libPHANToMIO.so.4.3  libPHANToMIO.so.4</syntaxhighlight>
 +
(if you can't overwrite old files, delete them previously)
 +
 +
Copy the new configuration application ''PHANToMConfiguration'' which is adapted to the new firewire drivers into /usr/sbin directory.
 +
 +
<syntaxhighlight lang=Bash>sudo cp PHANToMConfiguration /usr/sbin</syntaxhighlight>
 +
 +
Install freeglut and several libraries which are necessary with the next commands
 +
 +
<syntaxhighlight lang=Bash>sudo apt-get install freeglut3-dev
 +
sudo apt-get install  x11proto-gl-dev
 +
sudo apt-get install libmotif-dev
 +
sudo apt-get install mesa-utils</syntaxhighlight>
 +
 +
Download the libGLw libraries with the motif links already compiled from [http://dsc.sensable.com/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=1241 here] and copy the files that contains into /usr/lib directory with the command
 +
<syntaxhighlight lang=Bash>sudo cp libGLw* /usr/lib</syntaxhighlight>
 +
 +
Create a symbol link into /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/ directory to the libraw1394.so.11 library (the directory can change depends of your linux version, for to look for where is located you can use the command ''locate libraw1394''). This is necessary because the drivers requires libraw.so.8 to which already is obsolete.
 +
 +
<syntaxhighlight lang=Bash>sudo ln -s libraw1394.so.11 libraw1394.so.8</syntaxhighlight>
 +
 +
If when we use the PHANToMTest or other application of OpenHaptics only we can execute as root or the haptic can't initialize we must give permissions to port /dev/fw* , for this we must follow the instructions of paragraph Permissions and ownership for /dev/fw* in this [https://ieee1394.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/Juju_Migration#Permissions_and_ownership_for_.2Fdev.2Ffw.2A link]
 +
 +
one way to assign permissions fast (although each time that restart our computer the permissions are restored) is the next command
 +
 +
<syntaxhighlight lang=Bash>sudo chmod 777 /dev/fw*</syntaxhighlight>
 +
 +
* '''PHANToM Configuration'''
 +
 +
For to use any haptic application we must specify the model which we are using, for this, initialize the PHANToMConfiguration, it's important initialize with the flag LANG=en_us because if our system language is different to english and, we initialize without flag after the haptic doesn't work correctly
 +
 +
