<> == About == ||The `rovio` stack contains ROS packages and nodes that can be used to communicate with a [[http://www.wowwee.com/en/products/tech/telepresence/rovio/rovio|WowWee Rovio]]. Video streaming is made possible by utilizing the [[gscam]] package from the [[brown-ros-pkg]] repository. Joystick teleoperation is provided in the [[rovio_ctrl]] package from the 'rovio_teleop' node. Additionally, included in the [[rovio_av]] package is a selection of `.wav` files that have been converted to 8000 Hz 16 bit PCM (the native format for the Rovio). These files are conversions from Willow Garage's [[http://hri.willowgarage.com/sounds/|Robot Sound Libraries]]. || {{attachment:rovio.png}} || == Installation == To install the `rovio` stack, you can choose to either install from source, or from the Ubuntu package: === Source === To install from source, execute the following: {{{#!shell cd /path/to/your/ros/stacks git clone https://github.com/WPI-RAIL/rovio.git roscd rovio rosdep install rovio rosmake rovio }}} === Ubuntu Package === To install the Ubuntu package, execute the following: {{{ sudo apt-get install ros-fuerte-rovio }}} === Startup === Each control package contains a `.launch` file which should be edited with the appropriate ROS parameters (e.g. hostname, username, and password to login to your Rovio). These launch files launch the necessary nodes for reading sensor information and control of the Rovio. Additional information on each launch file is given in their respective package wiki pages. == Support == Please send bug reports to the [[https://github.com/WPI-RAIL/rovio/issues|GitHub Issue Tracker]].
