Installation on a car

  1. A DonkeyCar has RaspberryPi, so first make it work. If there are problems check resolve connectivity problems
  2. Install ROS1 Noetic from sources. In the catkin_make_isolated step add -j2 flag, so it will not stuck.
  3. Install libs for i2cpwm_board node
  4. Download this repository.
  5. Unfortunately dependencies can not be resolved, as there are no binary packages. So download in ~/ros_catkin_ws/src following repositories: image_transport, replace image_common, image_pipeline, replace vision_opencv.
  6. Install compressed_image_transport, image_transport_plugins, camera_calibration_parsers, camera_info_manager, image_geometry, image_proc with a command
./src/catkin/bin/catkin_make_isolated -j2 --install -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -DPYTHON_EXECUTABLE=/usr/bin/python3 --install-space /opt/ros/noetic --pkg YOUR_PACKAGE_NAME
