Industrial Core

[ROS-Industrial][] core communications packages. See the [ROS wiki][] page for more information.

Contents

This repository is a port for ROS2

Older releases may be found in the old ROS-Industrial [subversion repository][].

Status

The packages in this repository are community supported. This means they do not get support from an OEM, nor from the ROS-Industrial consortia directly (see also the support level badge at the top of this page).

Maintenance and development is on a best-effort basis and depends on volunteers.

Building

Building the packages

The following instructions assume that a workspace has been created at $HOME/colcon_ws and that the source space is at $HOME/colcon_ws/src. Update paths appropriately if they are different on the build machine.

These instructions build the humble branch on a ROS2 humble system:

# change to the root of the colcon workspace
$ cd $HOME/colcon_ws

# retrieve the latest development version of industrial_core_ROS2. 
$ git clone -b humble [email protected]:IvoD1998/industrial_core_ROS2.git src/industrial_core_ROS2

# check build dependencies. Note: this may install additional packages,
# depending on the software installed on the machine
$ rosdep update
$ rosdep install --from-paths src/ --ignore-src

# build the workspace
$ colcon build

Activating the workspace

Finally, activate the workspace to get access to the packages just built:

$ source $HOME/colcon_ws/install/setup.bash
