2) Setting Up Package

• Clone the repository in your Home folder

git clone https://github.com/HaiderAbasi/ROS2-Path-Planning-and-Maze-Solving.git

• Navigate into your downloaded repository

cd /path/to/ROS2-Path-Planning-and-Maze-Solving/path_planning_ws

• Source your ROS2 installation to build workspaces

source /opt/ros/foxy/setup.bash

• Perform Colcon Build ( source ~/opt.ros )

colcon build

• Source your Workspace in any terminal you open to Run files from this workspace ( Basic thing of ROS2 )

source ~/ROS2-Path-Planning-and-Maze-Solving/path_planning_ws/install/setup.bash

• (Optional for Power USERs ) Add source to this workspace into bash file

 echo "source ~/ROS2-Path-Planning-and-Maze-Solving/path_planning_ws/install/setup.bash" >> ~/.bashrc

NOTE: This upper command is going to add the source file path into your ~/.bashrc file ( Only perform it ONCE and you know what you are doing).This will save your time when running things from the Workspace

• Launch the ROS2 Simulation (Mazebot).

 ros2 launch maze_bot maze_1_robot_camera.launch.py

• Open a new Terminal (Ctrl+Shift+T), then source the workspace again.

 source ~/ROS2-Path-Planning-and-Maze-Solving/path_planning_ws/install/setup.bash

• Finally, Run the maze solver 👍.

 ros2 run maze_bot maze_solver
