This workspace contains non-catkin packages in it, and catkin cannot build a non-homogeneous workspace without isolation.

Hi I am trying to install your driver so I can control my diff drive robot with a ps4 dual Shock 4 v2 controller.

I followed your instructions and when I cam to compile I get the following. I am new to ROS so excuse me if I am making some newbie mistakes

also I we can not get this working how do I reverse your commands so that I can make my original version?

regards

this evening I deleted all of the PS4 gamepad package from my folders and I can compile again the remaining packages. so tomorrow I will look for a way ahead on this issue

[naoki-mizuno]

Looking at your output log, there's:

-- ~~ - ds4_driver (plain cmake)

which doesn't look right. What ROS version are you using? Could you describe step-by-step the commands that you entered (including cloning the package)?

[Mdbirley]

I am using ros kinetic on a raspberry pi 3b+ with Ubuntu mate I will now re install the software and let you know what happens

[Mdbirley]

I am following your installation instructions and have come across this issue

If you're running ROS Kinetic, you should use the melodic-devel branch. For Kinetic (and Melodic), you should use Python 2 not 3 to install ds4drv.

[Mdbirley]

Ok I downloaded from github the melodic branch of your repo. I renamed it to be ds4drv I then ran the remainder of the install instructions

$ cd ds4drv $ python2 setup.py install --prefix ~/.local

when I tried to run this sudo cp udev/50-ds4drv.rules /etc/udev/rules.d/

i got this error

maxwell@maxwell-desktop:~/ds4drv$ sudo cp udev/50-ds4drv.rules /etc/udev/rules.d/ cp: cannot stat 'udev/50-ds4drv.rules': No such file or directory maxwell@maxwell-desktop:~/ds4drv$ cd ..

I also can not Make my code now.

Can you please clarify the install instructions

regards Max

[Mdbirley]

I think there may be an issue with the path to melodic

when I ran the command I got this

maxwell@maxwell-desktop:~$ git clone https://github.com/naoki-mizuno/ds4drv --branch melodic-devel Cloning into 'ds4drv'... fatal: Remote branch melodic-devel not found in upstream origin

but when I changed the name of the folder to ds4_driver I di not get an error I will continur to see if this works

maxwell@maxwell-desktop:~$ git clone https://github.com/naoki-mizuno/ds4_driver --branch melodic-devel Cloning into 'ds4_driver'... remote: Enumerating objects: 324, done. remote: Counting objects: 100% (83/83), done. remote: Compressing objects: 100% (61/61), done. remote: Total 324 (delta 41), reused 55 (delta 21), pack-reused 241 Receiving objects: 100% (324/324), 67.95 KiB | 0 bytes/s, done.

[Mdbirley]

its fixed. We pulled the udev rules from one of the other repo's it then built and worked. Thanks for your help Max

ds4drv is a Python module, not a ROS package. ds4_driver is a ROS package. ds4_driver uses ds4drv to communicate with the device. I don't quite understand what you did, but glad you got it working. Closing.
