This is a guide on how to install ROS-indigo on a Raspberry Pi 2 serving as a companion computer for Pixhawk.
A working Raspberry Pi with monitor, keyboard, or configured SSH connection
This guide assumes that you have Raspbian "JESSIE" installed on your RPi. If not: or your Raspbian Wheezy to Jessie.
Follow for the actual installation of ROS Indigo. Note: Install the "ROS-Comm" variant. The Desktop variant is too heavyweight.
If you want to download packages (e.g. sudo apt-get install ros-indigo-ros-tutorials
), you might get an error saying: "unable to locate package ros-indigo-ros-tutorials".
If so, proceed as follows: Go to your catkin workspace (e.g. ~/ros_catkin_ws) and change the name of the packages.
Next, update your workspace with wstool.
Next (still in your workspace folder), source and make your files.
