Udev Rules
Description: Setting up udev rules to find kobuki at /dev/kobuki.Keywords: kobuki, udev
Tutorial Level: BEGINNER
Next Tutorial: Examine Kobuki
Connection to the kobuki base is via usb enabled by an ftdi usb-serial converter which is always pre-flashed at the factory with the serial id kobuki. For convenience, to enable the device to appear on /dev/kobuki, use the following script to copy across the udev rule and restart udev (you'll need your sudo password):
> rosrun kobuki_ftdi create_udev_rules
Non ROS users
In case you are not in a ROS environment, you will need to build the package first, in order to get the create_udev_rules script.
To do so navigate to the package folder and do
> make udev
