Current Installation instructions:

Note:

I can not attest that these instructions will work for everyone as I probably forgot a step or two somewhere. Though just send a message and I will probably remember what I missed once I see the problem.

Setting up the camara for those using wsl (Itzi you don't need to do this):

On the windows side you are going to want to use usbipd-win.

1. Download the .msi version as it is easy then building from source. I think that we all use x64 arch., but if you want to make sure press ⊞ Win + r,type msinfo, and click okay. You should see this. System Type is what you should pay attention to.

2. Run the program

3. Once it is done installing open command prompt as administrator.

4. If usbipd installed correctly, you should be able to run

   usbipd list 

   This is what appears when I run it. These are the devices you currently have connected to your computer. Your camara should be appearing here.

5. We are going to be sharing the device by using the bind command. The bus id is of the camara is what you need to do it. My is 4-7; yours will most likely be different. Replace the busid with your own.

   usbipd bind --busid <busid>

   Once done you should be able to run again

   usbipd list 

   and see that the camara is now in the sharing state. You can now close this window.

6. Open a new command prompt window, but this time do not do it in administrator mode. We are going to be attaching the camara to wsl now. Run the following command with the same busid you used last time.

   usbipd attach --wsl --busid <busid>

   You should see something like this. And we are done with this. You can confirm that it worked by running in wsl

   lsusb

   and seeing something like this

Setting up the enviroment:

Here comes the diffcult part Oh thank God.

1. Create a folder that you are going to be storing everything in. In my case I called final_ros_ws.

Note

This is not the actual ros workspace. I am just too lazy to change it.

2. Wait I want to try something

Setting up the enviroment(much easier version):

1. Source ros as you usually do

   source /opt/ros/humble/setup.bash 

2. Clone the repo

   git clone https://github.com/TotalNoob1/AI-Final-Project-.git

3. Source the install bash.

   source AI-Final-Project-/ros_pack/install/setup.bash

4. Go into the newly created directory.

   cd AI-Final-Project-

5. Run colcon build in ros_pack

   cd ros_pack
   colcon build 

6. You should be able to now run the program.

   ros2 launch final_project ai_gesture.launch.py

   I added two extra lines to show that it is working, but you should remove those once you confirm that it is. They are in gesture_control.

TODO

There are still bugs throughout the program and improvements to be made, and I am going to be fixing them as the week goes by. Though I won't say no to any help. We are still have to connect this to the virtual simulator. I can do it, but like I said I would not say no to help.
