ROS

Robot Operating System

At the time this page primarily exists to jog my memory of specific commands and resources as I drink from the initial fire hose of learning ROS. I'm staring my learning with debian 9 stretch on an HP tx2000 notebook with a full desktop install of ROS lunar. And a partial install on a BeagleBone Blue.

In the following lunar is an HP tx2000 notebook, bluemoon is the BBBlue.
