Ubuntu and ROS
This page describes how to install our DJI ROS SDK framework on your machine. In this tutorial, we use Ubuntu 14.04.5 (downloadable from here, image file name is ubuntu-14.04.5-desktop-amd64.iso).
$cat /etc/lsb-release

- Install ROS by following the command line instructions below (taken from here).
$sudo sh -c 'echo "deb http://packages.ros.org/ros/ubuntu $(lsb_release -sc) main" > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ros-latest.list'
$sudo apt-key adv --keyserver hkp://ha.pool.sks-keyservers.net:80 --recv-key 421C365BD9FF1F717815A3895523BAEEB01FA116
$sudo apt-get update
$sudo apt-get install ros-indigo-desktop-full
$mkdir -p ~/indigo_catkin_ws/src
$sudo apt-get install python-wstool python-catkin-tools \
ros-indigo-octomap-ros ros-indigo-ompl ros-indigo-fcl \

2. Initialize catkin workspace:
$mkdir -p ~/indigo_catkin_ws/src
$cd ~/catkin_ws
$catkin init
$catkin config --extend /opt/ros/indigo
$catkin config --cmake-args -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release
$catkin config --merge-devel
$catkin build
3. Install our ROS infrastructure:
$cd src
$git clone https://github.com/ethz-asl/mav_dji_ros_interface
$git clone https://github.com/ethz-asl/mav_control_rw -b m100_nmpc
$git clone https://github.com/ethz-asl/mav_comm.git
$git clone https://github.com/ethz-asl/eigen_catkin.git
$git clone https://github.com/ethz-asl/ethzasl_msf.git
$git clone https://github.com/catkin/catkin_simple
$git clone https://github.com/ethz-asl/glog_catkin
$git clone https://github.com/ethz-asl/mav_trajectory_generation
$git clone https://github.com/ethz-asl/geodetic_utils
$git clone https://github.com/ethz-asl/mav_comm
$git clone https://github.com/ethz-asl/nlopt
- To build the workspace, run the following command at your catkin workspace root, '~/catkin_ws'
$ catkin buildThis will take around 10-15min, so have some coffee while waiting for compilation to complete. After the compilation, you should see the console output below:
