Micro-ROS Setup

The Micro-ROS setup includes steps for creating the workspace and running the Micro-ROS Agent, which serves as a bridge between the ESP32 and the ROS 2 environment. Please follow the instructions in the Micro-ROS Setup Wiki for full setup details.

Connecting ESP32 to ROS 2 Network

To connect your ESP32 to the ROS 2 network:

1. Ensure the IP address of the host computer matches the IP address configured in the ESP32 firmware. You can confirm your host IP by running:

   ifconfig

   Look for the IP address associated with the wlo1 (or equivalent) interface.

2. Run the Micro-ROS Agent with UDP:

   ros2 run micro_ros_agent micro_ros_agent udp4 --port 8888

Make sure to update the IP address and port in the ESP32 firmware if required.
