Simulation Setup

Similar to the last project, let us setup the simulation environment and the robot in Project 4 Workspace for our next tasks.

Navigate to Workspace by clicking the Project Workspace on the side bar. You might want to open it in a new window. You could use either the terminal in Classroom without GPU mode or the VNC Desktop with GPU mode to do the setup.

Setup your catkin_ws folder as well as the src folder, then we need to grab the code from last project. Again, you could do that in two ways.

Method 1: git

If you have pushed your submission for the localization project to GitHub, go ahead and create a new repository then duplicate your code from last project to it.

git clone --bare https://github.com/exampleuser/old-repository.git

cd old-repository.git
git push --mirror https://github.com/exampleuser/new-repository.git

cd ..
rm -rf old-repository.git

Method 2: Folder Upload

If you want to upload the package folder to the Project 4 Workspace, go to the project Workspace and click the + button, then select Upload Folder to upload your package folder!

Verify Your Simulation Setup

Do a quick catkin_make and source the devel/setup.bash script. Launch the world to verify if the system is good to go!
