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

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

-> 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.

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")!
