Test Execution

Test Passed: Repeat Object Detection Task 2 in Install Turtlebot3 Hood Waffle Foxy Tensorflow 20210615 to make sure Foxy TensorFlow is not broken.

Add a New Server

Add the Server Code

Add a catsNdogs object detection server that does the same thing that the server does. It enables us to allows us to modify a new server without destroying any existing examples. We can then focus changes on the catsNdogs server.

 $ cd ~/tf_ws/src/ros2-tensorflow/tf_detection_py/tf_detection_py/examples

 $ cp server.py catsNdogs.py

Modify the Build Setup

 $ cd ../..

 $ cp setup.py setup.py.org

 $ emacs setup.py&

Add the catsNdoes detection server to the build. Do a diff to document the change.

 $ diff setup.py.org setup.py
       37a38
       >             'catsNdogs = tf_detection_py.examples.catsNdogs:main',

Test the Build

Check what servers are in the current install directory.

 $ cd ~/tf_ws/install/tf_detection_py/lib/tf_detection_py/

 $ ls
       client_test  face_detection  server

 $ cd ~/tf_ws
 
 $ colcon build --symlink-install
       Starting >>> ros2_tf_core
       Starting >>> tf_interfaces
       Finished <<< tf_interfaces [1.26s]                                            
       Finished <<< ros2_tf_core [1.39s]
