== Status ==
<<Include(Industrial/Software_Status/Experimental)>>


== Overview ==

This stack is part of the [[Industrial|ROS-Industrial]] program. It contains experimental packages that will be moved to the [[abb]] package once they've received sufficient testing and review.


== Compatibility ==

Packages in distribution branches (ie: `$ROS_DISTRO-devel`) may be expected to be compatible with the corresponding ROS distribution (ie: the `indigo-devel` branch is usable on Indigo). In the absence of major differences between subsequent ROS releases, the `-devel` branch may be expected to be compatible with the next release as well (ie: `indigo-devel` may be used on Jade, as long as no `jade-devel` branch exists).


== Installation ==

As all the packages in this repository are experimental, they will not be released through the official channels and must be build from source after cloning into a catkin workspace.

{{{{#!wiki version indigo_and_older
{{{#!wiki caution
As this stack may depend on unreleased changes to the main [[abb]] stack, you '''must''' checkout the corresponding branch of the ABB stack (`$ROS_DISTRO-devel`) from source as well. Using released packages from [[abb]] (ie: installed through `apt-get`) is explicitly '''not''' supported.
}}}
}}}}
{{{{#!wiki version kinetic_and_newer
{{{#!wiki caution

}}}}

In a catkin workspace:

{{{{#!wiki version indigo_and_older
{{{#!shell
cd /path/to/catkin_ws/src

# retrieve the latest development version of abb and abb_experimental
# NOTE: you MUST use the '-devel' version of abb
git clone -b $ROS_DISTRO-devel https://github.com/ros-industrial/abb.git
git clone -b $ROS_DISTRO-devel https://github.com/ros-industrial/abb_experimental.git

cd /path/to/catkin_ws

# checking dependencies
rosdep install --from-paths src --ignore-src --rosdistro $ROS_DISTRO

# building
catkin_make

# source this workspace (only if you don't have any others)
source /path/to/catkin_ws/devel/setup.bash
}}}
}}}}
{{{{#!wiki version kinetic_and_newer
{{{#!shell
cd /path/to/catkin_ws/src

# retrieve the latest development version of industrial_core. If you'd rather
# use the latest released version, replace 'kinetic-devel' with 'kinetic'
git clone -b kinetic-devel https://github.com/ros-industrial/industrial_core.git

# retrieve the latest development version of abb and abb_experimental
# NOTE: you MUST use the '-devel' version of abb
git clone -b kinetic-devel https://github.com/ros-industrial/abb.git
git clone -b kinetic-devel https://github.com/ros-industrial/abb_experimental.git

cd /path/to/catkin_ws

# checking dependencies
rosdep install --from-paths src --ignore-src --rosdistro $ROS_DISTRO

# building
catkin_make

# source this workspace (only if you don't have any others)
source /path/to/catkin_ws/devel/setup.bash
}}}
