June 205 for NUC
Core Libraries
- download libphidget_2.1.8.20150410.tar.gz
- libusb-1.0-0-dev is already installed
mkdir phidgets cd phidgets/ tar -xzf ../Downloads/libphidget_2.1.8.20150410.tar.gz cd libphidget-2.1.8.20150410/ ./configure make
Didn't give me what I wanted
sudo aptitude search phidget sudo apt-get install aptitude
May 2012 for FitPC
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/
If you forget this step you will get errors like
libusb couldn't open USB device /dev/bus/usb/001/006: Permission denied. libusb requires write access to USB device nodes.
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/
Do not try to build sound_play. It is built when ROS Phidgets are built in the next section. If you try to build it, it will complain about festival missing even if you load festival with Synaptic.
ROS Phidgets
Be sure to quit Synaptic. It will lock the repository so that the dependencies cannot be loaded below.
Download phidgets-ros-pkg-1.40.tar.gz from launchpad.net.
As root or sudo
- cd /opt/ros/electric/stacks
- mkdir phidgets
- cd phidgets
- untar in /opt/ros/electric/stacks/phidgets
- source /opt/ros/electric/setup.sh
- rosmake --rosdep-install phidgets
The last step is long.
