MQP-arm-code

Code for arms for social robot MQP. All the important code so far is in the catkin_mqp folder in the src/arm_code/src folder. The main file is Robot.cpp, with functions for writing to the hid device using hidapi in SimpleComsDevice.cpp. Can ignore all gazebo stuff.

issues:

Rosrun on the arm_code node keeps returning memory allocation errors.

On hidapi:

Must add "hidapi-libusb" to target_link_libraries statement in CMakeLists.txt:

install:

• sudo apt-get install libusb-dev
• sudo apt-get install libusb-1.0-0

used the include statements:

• include <hidapi.h>
• include <hidapi/hidapi.h>
• include <libusb.h>
• include <hidapi_libusb.h>
