ds_msgs

This is a catch-all package for common vehicle-independent message types. This package should contain only ROS msg and srv files.

All messages contained within should be vehicle-independent and reflect core vehicle functionality. Messages for extra cool stuff like fancy navigation or image interpretation or whatever should live elsewhere.

Contents of this Package

• Core component messages (control, etc)
• Common data messages
• Messages for ds_diagnostic
• Messages for the JasonTalk wrapper

Getting Started

This is a DSL ROS package intended to be run as part of the larger DSL ROS ecosystem. See the Sentry Wiki

Prerequisites

This package stands on its own. It's a prerequisite for pretty much everything.

Installing

You should generally be installing this as part of a rosinstall file. If handled seperately though, simply add to a catkin workspace and build with:

catkin_make

Deployment

Add to a live system and build. If the system compiles, it will likely work. But you should probably run a mission in simulation to make sure.

We use SemVer for versioning.
