Running the ros1_bridge
in a custom environment is tricky, and required me to
make a patch to complete. Here’s what I learned:
At one point I thought that I would do all new development in the next generation of OSRF software (ROS2 and Ignition). Porting the DeepRacer to use ROS2 may be an exercise in futility, but I thought it might be fun to find out just how painful it is to run a mixed ROS/ROS2 environment.
I started out playing with ROS2 by using a docker container. It was a fast and easy way for me to try out ROS2. As an avid user of ROS, I naturally wanted to keep up with the new changes being made. However, it can be difficult to set up, especially for new users. This guide is intended to be used by people that are familiar with coding and software development, but maybe not ROS.
