Raspberry Pi 3 Raspbian installation and basic configuration #1

The Ubuntu image available for the Pi3 is not official and there's a lack of support for some functionality (wifi configuration, partition resize to use the whole SD card... )

I'm thinking about switching to Raspbian, which is official, provided by the Raspberry people, and can run ROS Indigo: http://www.jonathanfritz.ca/2015/10/24/installing-ros-on-a-raspberry-pi/

Are we ok with using ROS Indigo? Do you prefer Jade? There's a short list of differences: http://wiki.ros.org/Distributions

As we talked on Thursday with German, Indigo is the most stable version and it will have support until 2019, so I think it's our best option for educational purpose.

So, for me, go for it! ;)

If Raspbian image is official and supports ROS Indigo (as German said), it is fine.

I agree!

simium commented 8 years ago

Let's start with Indigo, we can move to Jade later if @oriolorra thinks we need a more recent version of Gazebo.

oriolorra commented 8 years ago

I think that we could manage it with the actual version of Gazebo. A lot of simulator are implemented with it, like Husky of Clearpath Robotics.

simium commented 8 years ago

Agree!

marcgenevat commented 8 years ago

Let's do it then! Look forward to see if you succeed with the installation. Let us know if you have problems, but you should be fine.

We will use Ubuntu in the future on-board computer (the Intel NUC), but for now we are going to use Raspbian: https://www.raspbian.org/
