I thought it would be a nice idea to set up a few Wiki pages or write an in-depth README for people trying to use this software with ROS. While some information is available online, it seems like there is not a single good reference to point to.
Some common topics could include:
How to properly set up Motive
How to set everything up for the first time
Recommended hardware
Comparisons between this library and the vrpn_client_ros library
How to build from source
Different types of set ups that are known to work and how to get them working (i.e single computer running Windows with a VM running ROS, 2 computers communicating over the same network used by the Optitrack system, 2 computers communicating over a network not dedicated to the Optitrack system, etc.)
I am still trying to figure out how to get everything up and running, but I would be happy to contribute to some documentation as I learn how to properly use this system.
