HowToInstallRoombaPackage

Mode 1

Get packages

Step 1: Create a rosinstall file: (e.g turtlebot_roomba.install)

- hg:
     uri: http://code.google.com/p/parsec/
     local-name: RoCKIn/parsec
- svn:
     uri: http://code.in.tum.de/svn/turtlebot-roomba
     local-name: RoCKIn/turtlebot_roomba
- svn:
     uri: http://isr-uc-ros-pkg.googlecode.com/svn/stacks/lse_communication/trunk
     local-name: RoCKIn/lse_communication
- svn:
     uri: http://isr-uc-ros-pkg.googlecode.com/svn/stacks/serial_communication/trunk/cereal_port/
     local-name: RoCKIn/cereal_port

Step 2: In your ROS workspace you can launch

rosinstall . turtlebot_roomba.install

Step 3: Some packages have deprecated methods (they are from ROS electric), so we can remove them in the compilation. The turtlebot_roomba package doesn't need all of them.

ToDo: We should fix them but I haven't got time. Also the dependencies of turtlebot_roomba should be checked

We can move outside folder parsec:

cmd_vel_safety_filter  gmapping_offline  parsec_arduino  parsec_arduino_tests  tf_odometry_relay

We need to fix some dependencies in manifest files of some stacks:
