ROS2QtGui

Creating custom GUI with Qt and ROS2

How to Launch the GUI

1. Install ROS2 Foxy. Make sure to setup your environment with:

    source /opt/ros/foxy/setup.bash
   

   NOTE: You may want to add that line to your ~/.bashrc

2. Create a colcon workspace (Note: Feel free to change ~/ws_ros2 to whatever absolute path you want):

    export COLCON_WS=~/ws_ros2/
    mkdir -p $COLCON_WS/src
   

3. Clone the required repositories and install any dependencies:

    cd $COLCON_WS/src
    git clone https://github.com/Abishalini/ROS2QtGui.git
    rosdep install --ignore-src --from-paths . -y
   

4. Configure and build the workspace

    source $COLCON_WS/install/setup.bash
   

5. Launch the GUI using the following command:

    ros2 launch qtros2 gui.launch.py
