[Clearpath Husky A200] reinstallaton help

General Discussion
1

Dear Mybotshop,

We’re trying to reinstall the Husky after some configuration mess-arounds and the upgrade to ROS2 Jazzy, but since we’re doing a fresh install from Clearpath there are some configurations missing.

We do have a backup from the Humble version, so we still can copy some files around luckily, but rather we’d start from scratch to make sure it’s fresh and should be working as intended.

I just sent an email to info [at] mybotshop [dot] de, but was told to rather post here instead.

Is anyone from the mybotshop team available to help us reinstall the necessary packages for the accessories that were acquired with the purchase of our Husky A200-1039? The main sensor we’re trying to reinstall is our Ouster OS1-32-U, since Clearpath mentioned on their documentation page that “clearpath will install the ROS2 packages for you”, we cannot really do anything here.

We’re hoping that Mybotshop has a better view of the accessories purchased with the A200-1039, but if not I am of course able to provide more information (if told where to look :^) ).

Looking forward to any help or pointers.

Kind regards,
Kgalama

For all available sensors, please check either /home/administrator/ros2_ws/src or /opt/mybotshop/src/ and tell which sensors are available. For ouster you can directly use the OS ros2 sdk. We will check if we have the backup of your configuration if you send the ordernumber of your robot to support@mybotshop.de

Hi Sohail,

I’ve just replied to the email from support@.
If I check the backup, we don’t have /opt/mybotshop anymore, but I did find the old ros2_ws/src folders, which contained fixposition, ouster-ros and reach_rs_ros2_humble.

There are multiple folders under /src/mybotshop, that list a few modules like the fixposition, ouster, hokuyo, phidget, etc. What should I be looking for?

Yes, these for the most part can directly be ported to jazzy.

Okay, how?

Is it a simple copy-paste-regenerate? Or are there other things I need to take in account?
Since we are starting basically from scratch.

You just need to add the description to the robot.yaml and disable the ekf/add the phidgets for the imu
