DrWino Posted July 4, 2017 at 04:13 AM Share Posted July 4, 2017 at 04:13 AM I have now a red brick, imu2 and POE ethernet brick. What I want to do is make a ROS node that will publish IMU data over ethernet to another computer running ROS. Has anybody done this and and any tips ? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
borg Posted July 4, 2017 at 07:37 AM Share Posted July 4, 2017 at 07:37 AM I have not done it, but you can use the Python Bindings and create a node yourself. There are Python node examples on the ROS wiki: http://wiki.ros.org/ROSNodeTutorialPython Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrWino Posted July 4, 2017 at 11:37 AM Author Share Posted July 4, 2017 at 11:37 AM -> borg. Thanks.Two issues concern me 1) I could use the ROS package on github by gus484. I have compiled this but it needs brickd to run. I need to figure out how to install brickd in a non-graphics ubuntu distro. 2) I really want the IMU to be standalone - which is why I got the red brick+ethernet. I can write my own ROS node but I have not been able to find a python example which shows how to access the IMUv2 over ethernet. It is also my understanding that this could a standalone system publishing ROS messages without the need for brickd. Any similar example would be a great help.

borg Posted July 4, 2017 at 12:04 PM Share Posted July 4, 2017 at 12:04 PM All of the examples that we have work over Ethernet, you just have to put in the correct IP (ip of the Ethernet Extension instead of "localhost")! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
