**WARNING: The Jazzy setup branch DOES NOT WORK YET!!!**
I've made progress here with ROS2, but it is not functional yet.
## _NOW ON ROS2 Jazzy!_

**STATUS: Maintained but in flux.**
This code works on **my** robot, but my robot is built with parts that are no longer sold.
Further, the road to ROS 2 is long, so I cannot say when it will work again.

What you see here **was** a stable platform that is easy to deploy, but it is in flux at the moment.
The old noetic branch is stable and works, but I'm not sure using ROS 1 is a good idea for a new project.
### Quick Start

Feel free to file issues if you are trying to use this code.

# IT WORKS! . . . mostly.

Here is the current bring-up state for map making on ROS2:
_These are just notes for myself so I can remember as I get it fully functional._

1. In Terminal One run: `start-robot.sh`
0. Install Ubuntu 24.04 on a Rapsberry Pi using the Rasbery Pi Imager
1. Run the install script for this package on the Pi: `bash <(wget -qO- --no-cache -o /dev/null https://raw.githubusercontent.com/chrisl8/ArloBot/jazzy/setup-jazzy.sh)`
2. SSH into the Pi and run: `ros_start.sh`

2. In Terminal Two run:
3. SSH into the Pi **again** and also run:
`source ~/ros2_ws/install/setup.bash;ros2 launch nav2_bringup navigation_launch.py`

3. In Terminal Three run:
4. SSH into the Pi **again** and also run:
`source ~/ros2_ws/install/setup.bash;ros2 launch slam_toolbox online_async_launch.py`

4. On a remote system (Windows, on the same WiFi network as the robot):
5. On a remote system (like on Windows, on the same WiFi network as the robot):
```
D:\ros2-jazzy\ros2-windows\local_setup.ps1 # Or wherever you put it.
ros2 run rviz2 rviz2 -d \\wsl.localhost\Ubuntu\home\chrisl8\Dev\ArloBot\navigation.rviz

Until then, enjoy this for what it is, and understand that any commits you see will be rather focused on a set of hardware that is no longer available.

## ROS2 ToDo:
- Get cmd_vel input working so that robot moves.
- Get SLAM Toolbox working so that robot makes maps again.
- Find a planner, either get teb working or another one.
- Consider dropping "watchdog" from propeller_node

- It complains about logging during shutdown, not sure if that can be fixed or not?
- Finish conversion of anything left in my arlobot_ros1 folder and remove them.
- Clean up unused convenience scripts
- Make sure they all still work. Some might just not work anymore and should be removed.
