Polyhobbyist ROS2 implementation of the Sparkfun Jetbot

Prerequisites

• Jetpack 4.2
• Docker
• Docker Compose
• vcstool
• [] [Visual Studio Code] (http://code.visualstudio.com)
• [] Visual Studio Code Remote Extension pack

Setup

This repository serves the the container root for the ROS2 workspace for the Jetbot code by a Polyhobbyist. The intention is for this repo to be cloned on the host operating system, and use Docker compose or VSCode DevContainers to start a ROS2 container to work in.

First, clone this repository onto your Jetson. The location doesn't matter.

Using Docker directly

cd jetbot
vcs import --recursive ws/src < jetbot.repos
Docker-compose -f Docker-compose.yaml up

NOTE: When using Git for repository actions, it is best to do it from outside the docker container, as there is a potential directory ownership issue when using git from within the container.

Using VSCode Dev containers

Ensure that you have the remote extension pack installed. Open the Jetbot folder within VSCode. When VSCode asks to open the Devcontainer, you say yes.
