Displaying the odometer data

[zak377]

I would appreciate any help on where to place the display odometer file and what changes to make to the septup.py file.
I currently have it under launch directory.

Hi @zak377, welcome to the community!

Your post is very vague and does not really provide any context. Besides, you are running this locally, not in The Construct.

If you are working on the course Gazebo Sim with ROS2, you need to be in the website in order to follow the course correctly.

I assume the “odometer file” is a ROS 2 node, so it goes in a ROS 2 package, inside your workspace.

As for the setup.py, you need to add your ROS 2 node as an executable in the console scripts.

I recommend taking our course ROS 2 Basics in 5 Days (Python) in order to learn the basics and be able to run a ROS 2 node.

Thanks,

I will take that course as well. I had it figured out.
