For first time use: ------------------- Run the command rosmake missile_launcher to setup this package for use on your computer. You have to do this on every new computer that you download the package on. Instructions: ------------- To operate the missile launcher, first call sudo chmod -R 777 /dev/bus/usb/ which will remove the restrictions on accessing the serial port. Then run rosrun missile_launcher ml_driver.py to begin advertising the services that control the missile launcher. Currently, a command line does not appear, and all missile launcher control must be done by using rosservice call SERVICE or writing a python script. The avaiable services for the missile launcher are: panR panL tiltUp tiltDown fire stop Every service takes NO ARGUMENTS. There is a small sample python script provided in the scripts directory that demonstrates a simple call to the fire service. Just make sure that the missile launcher isn't pointing at anyone before you try it...
