Compile and Run

  1. Download the Slamware ROS SDK along with ROS examples.
  2. Place the 'src' folder from the ROS SDK into an empty working directory, such as 'catkin_ws'. Also, put the 'slamware_ros_sample' folder from the ROS examples into the 'src' folder.
    Code Block
    languagebash
    mkdir -p catkin_ws/src
    cd catkin_ws/src
  3. Initialize the workspace using the Catkin tool.
    Code Block
    languagebash
    catkin_init_workspace
  4. Compile.
    Code Block
    languagebash
    cd ..
    catkin_make
  5. Set up workspace environment.
    Code Block
    languagebash
    source devel/setup.bash

  6. Launch the slamware_ros_sdk_server_node node. Select the corresponding IP according to the mode.
    Code Block
    languagecpp
    roslaunch slamware_ros_sdk slamware_ros_sdk_server_node.launch ip_address:=10.6.128.141    // Station mode
    // If in AP mode, the IP address is 192.168.11.1
  7. Open another terminal, repeat step 5, and start the sync_set_stcm_node node.
    Code Block
    languagecpp
    roslaunch slamware_ros_sample sync_set_stcm.launch
    // In the launch file, there is a default definition for the map_file_name parameter, indicating the path and filename where the map is saved. you can adjust parameters manually.
  8. At this point, observe the RVIZ interface; if the map file is successfully located, the map will be uploaded, and the map in RVIZ will also change accordingly. Otherwise, an error will occur.
