Building The Project

Clone the project on your machine

$ git clone https://github.com/heshamkhaledd/Urban-Remote-Control.git

Then, Run the following commands in order;

$ cd Urban-Remote-Control/server
$ catkin_make
$ source devel/setup.bash  
$ source devel/setup.sh  

Running the Server

Initialize ROS Master by running

$ roscore

Launch Zed Camera Using

$ roslaunch zed_wrapper zed.launch

To Initialize the Server, Run

$ python2 src/server/scripts/sub.py

Running the Client

You can run the client by going back to the repository root directory and running this

$ python3 client/client.py 

________________________________________________________________________________

Simulating the Project

If you want to simulate the project using Gazebo, Run the following command instead of the zed.launch file

roslaunch server robot_spawn.launch

Important Notes

Please make sure the network's ip address you're connected at in both server's script sub.py and client.py
as they should be connected on the same ip address and sending/reading the data frames on the same port.
to check the ip address the server is connected to, run this command in your terminal

$ ifconfig

and it will display server's ip address next to inet label
