This repository contains the simulation code designed to work in conjunction with UWRT's main codebase riptide_software. This repo is designed to work with the Gazebo simulator, which is part of the Robot Operating System framework.

ROS is compiled using the catkin build system, and so this repo will use catkin.
To collaborate with the sim_software platform, you must fork this repo (click "Fork" at the top-right of this page). When executing the commands below, you will need to enter the URL to your forked repo. Form YOUR forked repo, click "Clone or download" at the top-right of the page, copy the URL, and then insert that URL in place of "<your_forked_repo>".
mkdir -p ~/osu-uwrt/sim_software/
cd ~/osu-uwrt/sim_software/
git clone <your_forked_repo> src
Since you just cloned your fork to your computer, your remote called "origin" will point to your fork. Now, create a new remote called "upstream" that points to this repo.
cd ~/osu-uwrt/sim_software/src/
git remote add upstream https://github.com/osu-uwrt/sim_software.git
Now, if you type:
git remote -v
You will see both a remote to your fork and to the main repo. You will use these two remotes a lot when pushing code to your fork, submitting pull-requests, and pulling down the latest code.
sudo apt-get install protobuf-compiler protobuf-c-compiler
To compile this repo, you simply execute the "catkin_make" command from a terminal. As a word of caution, you MUST be inside the folder "~/osu-uwrt/sim_software" to run "catkin_make"
cd ~/osu-uwrt/sim_software/
catkin_make
Please refer to the Readme for the riptide_software for how to chain workspaces.
