ROS on Raspberry PI?

[HizMama]

Hey guys,

i was wondering if it is possible to run ROS with or w/out ubuntu on Raspberry PI. Thanks in advance!

If you mean Robot Operating System then I think "Yeah, eventually, sort of..." is somewhere in the ballpark.

Some compilation instructions here: http://www.ros.org/wiki/groovy/Installa ... ian/Source

Whopping big thread about it all here: http://www.raspberrypi.org/phpBB3/viewt ... &start=100

Thanks for the input! I had Raspbian until today but I changed it to Debian since all the code online for installing ROS is for Debian, however, if i type in something like "sudo apt-get install python-rosinstall python-rosdep" the terminal is unable to locate the packages rosinstall and rosdep.

also, once i type in "sudo apt-get install build-essential python-yam1 cmake subverion wget python-setuptools mercurial git-core" the terminal reads "Unable to locate package python-yam1"

Hi HizMama, I should point out that I know very little about ROS, so I can't really be much help. Perhaps it would be an idea to PM a moderator and ask them to move this thread to the "Automation, sensing and robotics" part of this forum so that knowledgeable folks can weigh in.

Hope this helps.

Raspbian is Debian Whhezy 7 ARMv7 and compiled to work the PI ARMv6 architecture, it would be easier to install the latest 16-12-2012 Raspbian “wheezy” the latest version of Debian is seriously out-of-date and should not be used.

Anyway there is a mega-posting about ROS here: http://www.raspberrypi.org/phpBB3/viewt ... =37&t=6552
