I am a 74 year old retiree building a spot-micro dog as my hobby.
I’m using Ubuntu 20.4 with ROS 2.
I am using Linux for the very first time so I’m weak in the basics. I have successfully installed ROS 2 and done most of the tutorials.
It’s your code that gives me the courage to try building my robot and I thank you for being willing to share all of your effort.
Perhaps you can point me to an active user group that I can post to for future questions.
I think that some of your code references ROS 1 (not sure - catkin?)
I tried using “Colcon build” and got a long list of messages that I don’t know how to interpret, would you please advise me as to what corrective action to pursue.
Also have I placed all of the project directories at the right root?
Thank you,
