MBot LCM Base

This repo contains some essential subpackages needed by all other MBot applications running off LCM:

• mbot_lcm_serial: LCM-to-serial communication with the MBot control board.
• mbot_msgs: Message type definitions for LCM.

Fast Install

To build and install code and services, you can use the install script:

./scripts/install.sh

You do not need to follow any of the other build steps if you use the install script.

Build instructions

mkdir build && cd build
cmake ..
make

You will likely want to install the MBot message types so they can be used across the system for other packages. To do this, do sudo make install.

Finally, in order for the message definitions to be accessible on the terminal for lcm-spy in the future, run this command:

echo 'export CLASSPATH=$CLASSPATH:"/usr/local/share/java/mbot_lcm_msgs.jar"' >> ~/.bashrc

Uninstalling

You can uninstall with:

cd build
sudo xargs rm < install_manifest.txt
