Core Libraries
Get the core phidgets libraries from www.phidgets.com drivers.
Note: using Synaptic to get the phidgets drivers will not give you the correct version. Note: requires libusb-dev
- I got libphidget-2.1.8.20120503
- untar
- cd libphidget-2.1.8.20120503
- ./configure
- make
- sudo make install
Allow access to USB in user mode. Requires a restart.
- sudo cp udev/99-phidgets.rules /etc/udev/rules.d/
sound_play
Sound play is required for ROS phidgets to build and install. See sound_play fix for more details.
As root or using sudo
- add the following to the end of /opt/ros/electric/ros/rosdep.yaml
python-pygame: ubuntu: python-pygame
- cd /opt/ros/electric/stacks/
In the following steps it complained about festival missing - but it is there. I wonder if the following steps are not necessary for ROS phidgets to install in the following section.
- cd sound_play
- With Synaptic get festival
- rosmake --rosdep-install sound_play
ROS Phidgets
Be sure to quit Synaptic. It will lock the repository so that the dependencies cannot be loaded below.
Download from launchpad.net.
- Downloaded file is : phidgets-ros-pkg-1.40.tar.gz
As root or sudo
- cd /opt/ros/electric/stacks
- mkdir phidgets
- cd phidgets
- untar in /opt/ros/electric/stacks/phidgets
- rosmake --rosdep-install phidgets
