1. How to start a straight path?

Step 1: Activating LIMO PRO:

• Turn on LIMO PRO: Ensure that your LIMO PRO device is powered on and ready for operation.

Step 2: Starting ROS :

• Follow along with the video and step below;

• Open a Terminal: On your computer, launch a terminal application. This is where you'll input commands to interact with the ROS (Robot Operating System).

• Execute ROS Master Launch Command: In the terminal, type the following command and press Enter:

  roslaunch limo_base limo_base.launch
  

  This command initializes the ROS master node required for communication between different parts of the robot system.

Step 3: Robot Node Activation:

• Open another Terminal: Open a new terminal window to perform additional configurations.

• Launch Robot Node: In the new terminal, input the following command and press Enter:

  roslaunch limo_base robot_node.launch
  

  <aside> 💡 Only the second command will be changing for a different path.
