Building ROS hydro from source on Ubuntu 13.10 Saucy Salamander

February 25, 2014

This post will cover the steps I made to build ROS hydro successfully from source on my Ubuntu 13.10 amd64 with German localization settings.

1. Add repositories

::CODECOLORER_BLOCK_8::

2. The basic building procedure is covered in the article below, but I will list all commands/steps I have used from this tutorial as well, together with links to resources which helped me solving problems and how I solved them. If you want to have an explanation of the steps, please refer to the provided links. read more

Bajos moved from github to googlecode

September 15, 2010

After a first try of github, we decided to change the project hoster. We choose googlecode. So after the migration (check last post) bajos is now available on googlecode:

http://code.google.com/p/bajos/

Check it out!

Maybe we hold the github account as mirror. will see. read more

Bajos availabel on Github.com

In hope of getting some contribution and feedback to bajos I have hosted it on github, so everything is availabel for everone:

Check out bajos from github.com

Since last december I am working on a project of my college BAJOS, which makes java availabel vor microcontrollers.  Now I do some public relation stuff, because this great project is not mind in the internet community. therefore check out:

BaRobot: USB / RS232 Device for controlling up to 8 servos from WIN/LINUX

January 22, 2010

Today, I want to present my last college(BA-Berlin) project. The topic of this project is controlling a robot arm (with 5 servos) with a MCU from a PC via RS232 or USB. The project is even finished.

What is BaRobot?

BaRobot is a set consisting of  firmware for an AVR, a driver library and some demo applications. The firmware was built for at least an ATmega8 and contains everything for controlling up to 8 servos via USB or RS232 from a PC without expensive USB-Hardware. The USB Interface is based on VUSB from Objective Development. The project was founded to control a 5 axis robot arm (see gallery next), therefore all demo applications are made for a 5 servo device, but you could edit these settings with preprocessor directives in the sources. A possible circuit is available in the gallery, too. The driver is based on LibUSB (LibUSB32 at Windows), you only need LibUSB if you want to compile the sources. On a linux machine you does not need a specific driver, because LibUSB is still installed, you only need the library, which provides  a set of functions to control the servos. The library/firmware gives you the ability of control all your servos in position  and in speed(means time for moving to a new position). Both values value must be between 0 and 254. read more
