# vrpn_client_ros
This for aims at porting the original code from the kinetic-devel branch to ROS2.
This fork aims at porting the original code from the kinetic-devel branch to ROS2.

## Requirements

The code requires VRPN to work. I fullfilled this requirement by installing the proper ROS1 package:
The code requires VRPN to work. Unfortunately, currently the package is only
available in melodic and older ROS releases and can be installed with:
```
apt-get install ros-melodic-vrpn
```

If you want to stick to ROS2 or do not have access to melodic packages you can
clone the following repository to the src folder of your ros_overlay_ws:
```
git clone --single-branch --branch debian/melodic/vrpn [email protected]:ros-drivers-gbp/vrpn-release.git
```

## What works?

I only use pose in my project, so I did not port anything else (TF, twist, accel). Also multiple sensors per tracker are not ported.
