ros drivers for the TakkTile tactile array

  1. Get code

git clone --recursive https://github.com/harvardbiorobotics/takktile_ros.git

  1. Add the package path to the ROS_PACKAGE_PATH

export ROS_PACKAGE_PATH=$ROS_PACKAGE_PATH:/path/to/this/directory

or add it to the bashrc

echo "ROS_PACKAGE_PATH=$ROS_PACKAGE_PATH:/path/to/this/directory" >> ~/.bashrc

source ~/.bashrc

  1. Compile

rosmake takktile_ros

  1. set USB permissions

sudo cp 71-takktile.rules /etc/udev/rules.d/

  1. Run

rosrun takktile_ros takktile_node.py

  1. Plot (in another terminal while takktile_node.py is running)
