== Kobuki Setup ==

By default, the turtlebot software is currently configured to work with Kobuki. For the most part, the kobuki will work out of the box. If you're doing
a manual deb or source install though, there is one last step remaining.

Kobuki needs to transfer a udev rule so that it can reliable detect the factory flashed ftdi usb chip. This enables it to be read from `/dev/kobuki` instead of the unreliable `/dev/ttyUSBx` devices.

== Udev Rule ==

If you have a notebook purchased from a distributor, they may have already applied the udev rule, otherwise:

=== Deb Installation ===

{{{
> . /opt/ros/indigo/setup.bash 
> rosrun kobuki_ftdi create_udev_rules
}}}


=== Source Installation ===

{{{
# From the devel space
> . ~/turtlebot/devel/setup.bash 
> rosrun kobuki_ftdi create_udev_rules
}}}

== Notes ==

You can see exactly how this is working in [[kobuki_ftdi]].
