[Magnum164]

Issue template

Basically found this lib and wanted to try out, clean install no code starting from scratch.

• Hardware description: Windows 10 VSCode
• RTOS: VSCode w/PLatformIO
• Installation type: Basic

Steps to reproduce the issue

Added lib_deps to platformio.ini

Expected behavior

lib compile

Actual behavior

Fails stating file already exists in build folder, then gives the error "." is invalid.

Additional information

Configuring esp32dev with transport serial

Hello @Magnum164, this package targets a Linux development environment. Is possible for you to test it on a Linux machine? If not, I would recommend you using the precompiled libraries provided in the micro-ROS for Arduino package

I have ROS running on a VM. But I don't understand I was literally following the instructions linked to the build on running with vscode. So a little confused if it is not meant for Windows/VScode why is it linking me to install VS code and IDE without redirecting me to the other githubs.

Which I have the other packages as well. Man, I am retired why do I torture myself with this stuff still...

But after I posted this I did use the precompiled in the Arduino IDE2.0 and it seemed to work. Now will try with VScode and see where I can get.

Thanks, sanity checks are helpful.

It is kinda assumed in this repo, but most of the micro-ROS tools are Linux-only due to the build system tooling required for cross-compiling the library. It should be possible to port this to Win, but we as open-source maintainers do not have enought bandwidth.

IMO Arduino is the way to go for micro-ROS when you need to make some quick testing, after having the PoC working, you can move to another package. Nice to hear that it works.
