All software for the 2018 UWRT Mars Rover

To get all required dependencies, navigate to the project root directory and run:

./install_dependencies.sh

Put all future dependencies in the dependencies.rosinstall file

Ensure that all submodules are loaded, and that the husky submodule is on the kinetic-devel branch. Comment out the spawn_husky node in "husky/husky_gazebo/launch/spawn_husky.launch" and the GPS and IMU sensors in "husky/husky_description/urdf/husky.urdf.xacro".

Rename all mesh paths in "simulation/launch/simulation_worlds/simple_world.world" to point to the appropriate directory in your workspace.

For C++ code, we follow the ROS coding guidelines. There is a .clang_format file that can automatically format your C++ code in the correct style.

To run the formatter, install the package clang-format

sudo apt install clang-format

Once the package is installed, you can run the following command:

cd <folder containing repository>/Workspace/src
find . -name '*.h' -or -name '*.hpp' -or -name '*.cpp' | xargs clang-format -i -style=file $1

For Python 2.7 code, we follow the PEP8 standard. Install pycodestyle to find any styling errors.

sudo pip install pycodestyle

To check your Python files:

cd <folder containing repository>/Workspace/src
find . -name '*.py' -exec pycodestyle {} \;
