Welcome to my Activity Log!!! My Research topic is " Co-operative mappingg by using a swarm of sensors". The first target to achieve is to build up knowledge about using Ubuntu and ROS kinetics.

Installation

Ubuntu seems new to me as i always worked on window versions of operating systems. So for me task 1 was to install Ubuntu and make myself familiar to its working. When i started Ubuntu installation, i had to face problem because my system was not ready to accept different operating system. It started screaming out loud to warn me but i keep going. After 3 failures i became successful in Ubuntu installation over the cost of data in my hard drive.

[Ubuntu Official Website]

Installing ROS

Next task was to install ROS kinetics. Installing ROS Kinetics was not difficult after watching few tutorials on you tube.

How to add a new Package in workspace

~$ cd catkin_ws // go in workspace ~$ cd src //go in source directory

$ git clone https://github.com/ros-drivers/usb_cam.git  // download package

~/catkin_ws$ catkin_make //go in workspace and run catkin_make $ source devel/setup.bash // run it $roslaunch usb_cam usb_cam-test.launch // to launch package
