Raspberry Pi 3 Setup

WARNING:

  • The contents in this chapter corresponds to the Raspberry Pi 3 which will be the main computer of TurtleBot3 Burger and Waffle Pi. Do NOT apply this instruction to your Remote PC (your desktop PC or laptop).
  • Setup work requires Power and Time. So battery is not suitable. We recommend using SMPS (AC adapter) during this work.

NOTE: There are two ways to install Linux and ROS to Raspberry Pi 3.

  • First method: If you prefer Ubuntu MATE, please take the first method Install Linux (Ubuntu MATE) below. This method should install the ROS and dependency packages after installing the Linux images. This instruction takes about 1 hours to install ROS and related packages for TurtleBot3.
  • Second method: We provide the Linux distro based on Raspbian. They are pre-installed with ROS and ROS-packages related TurtleBot3. It is available immediately without additional installation. If you want to use it, please take the second method Install Linux based on Raspbian below.

Install Linux (Ubuntu MATE)

1) Install Ubuntu MATE on TurtleBot PC

WARNING: Ubuntu Mate does not correspond to Raspberry Pi 3 B + at present. If you have it, please install Raspbian instead.

WARNING: The microSD card should have at least 8 GB of empty space in order to install Linux (Ubuntu MATE) on Raspberry Pi 3.

[Remote PC] Download Ubuntu MATE 16.04 image for the Raspberry Pi 3 on your remote PC from the link below.

[Remote PC] In order to write an Ubuntu MATE image to microSD, it is recommended using GNOME Disks with Restore Disk Image... option, which natively supports XZ compressed image.

$ sudo apt-get install gnome-disk-utility

TIP: It is recommended using GNOME Disks, but other applications such as ddrescue on Linux can be used.

$ sudo apt-get install gddrescue xz-utils
$ unxz ubuntu-mate-16.04.2-desktop-armhf-raspberry-pi.img.xz
$ sudo ddrescue -D --force ubuntu-mate-16.04.2-desktop-armhf-raspberry-pi.img /dev/sdx

TIP: It is recommended using GNOME Disks, but other applications such as Win32 Disk Imager on Windows can be used. Win32 Disk Imager

2) Install ROS on TurtleBot PC

NOTE: This instruction takes about 1 hours to install ROS and related packages for TurtleBot3. Elapsed time may vary depending on network environment.

[TurtleBot] The following script will allow you to simplify the ROS installation procedure. Run the following command in a terminal window on TurtleBot PC. The terminal application can be found with the Ubuntu search icon on the top left corner of the screen. Shortcut key for terminal is Ctrl-Alt-T. After install ROS, please reboot TurtleBot PC.

$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get upgrade
$ wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ROBOTIS-GIT/robotis_tools/master/install_ros_kinetic_rp3.sh && chmod 755 ./install_ros_kinetic_rp3.sh && bash ./install_ros_kinetic_rp3.sh

NOTE: In order to check which packages are installed, please check this link out. install_ros_kinetic_rp3.sh

If you prefer manual installation, please following the link below.

3) Install Dependent Packages on TurtleBot PC

The next step is to install dependent packages for TurtleBot3 control.

[TurtleBot] Download packages from github

$ cd ~/catkin_ws/src
$ git clone https://github.com/ROBOTIS-GIT/hls_lfcd_lds_driver.git
$ git clone https://github.com/ROBOTIS-GIT/turtlebot3_msgs.git
$ git clone https://github.com/ROBOTIS-GIT/turtlebot3.git

NOTE: If you want to use Raspberry Pi Camera, please check related appendix for Raspberry Pi Camera

[TurtleBot] Delete some packages that are not needed in TurtleBot PC

$ cd ~/catkin_ws/src/turtlebot3
$ sudo rm -r turtlebot3_description/ turtlebot3_teleop/ turtlebot3_navigation/ turtlebot3_slam/ turtlebot3_example/

[TurtleBot] Install dependent packages

$ sudo apt-get install ros-kinetic-rosserial-python ros-kinetic-tf

[TurtleBot] After install packages, please reboot Raspberry Pi 3.

[TurtleBot] Build packages

$ source /opt/ros/kinetic/setup.bash
$ cd ~/catkin_ws && catkin_make -j1

If catkin_make command is completed without any errors, the preparation for TurtleBot3 is done.

4) USB Settings

[TurtleBot] The following commands allow to use USB port for OpenCR without acquiring root permission.

$ rosrun turtlebot3_bringup create_udev_rules
5) Network Configuration

ROS requires IP addresses in order to communicate between TurtleBot PC and the remote PC. The remote PC and TurtleBot PC should be connected to the same wifi router.

Enter the below command on the terminal window of the TurtleBot PC to find out the IP address of TurtleBot.

$ ifconfig

Texts in the rectangle is the IP address of the TurtleBot PC.

Enter the following command.

$ nano ~/.bashrc

Press alt+/ to end line of the file.

Replace the localhost in the ROS_MASTER_URI address with the Remote PC’s IP address acquired from Remote PC Network Configuration. Also replace the localhost in the ROS_HOSTNAME address with the IP address acquired from the above terminal window, which is the IP address of TurtleBot PC.

Then, source the bashrc with below command.

$ source ~/.bashrc

Install Linux based on Raspbian

WARNING: The SDcard should have at least 8 GB of empty space in order to install Linux on Raspberry Pi 3.

We provide the Linux distro image based on Raspbian. They are pre-installed with ROS and ROS-packages related TurtleBot3. It supports the TurtleBot3 Burger and Waffle Pi model. In this distro image, non-free software like Wolfram, Mathematica, Minecraft Pi and Oracle Java SE are removed.
