kvh_drivers's Issues

Building in Indigo

I cloned the package but when I run catkin_make from the workspace directory the package isn't found.

Confusing 'Indigo' branch?

The Indigo branch was last updated 5 years ago and seems to still contain a rosbuild package.

master has seen more activity and was converted to Catkin in #2.

This seems to be confusing (at least some) users. See how to replace rosbuild_link_boost() with the catkin macro on ROS Answers for instance.

Should the Indigo branch be removed?

Move the present contents into a subdirectory

Thinking of a package with a better name than kvh, like kvh_dsp3000_driver or similar.

Launch file pkg is wrong

I think the pkg attribute in dsp3000.launch file should be kvh instead of dsp3000. Otherwise I get the following error:

ERROR: cannot launch node of type [dsp3000/dsp3000]: dsp3000
ROS path [0]=/opt/ros/indigo/share/ros
ROS path [1]=/home/galar/catkin_ws/src
ROS path [2]=/opt/ros/indigo/share
ROS path [3]=/opt/ros/indigo/stacks

problems with communicating kvh gyro

I am working with ubuntu 14.04 and indigo on the Husky Robot. I am trying to communicate with the kvh dsp3000 gyro. Downloaded the packages from the master branch. compiles and builds successfully. Now, I plugged in the gyro to the robot PC and checked that there is /dev/clearpath/fog path on my system, then I ran roslaunch kvh dsp3000.launch and it gave me the following error.

~/catkin_ws$ roslaunch kvh dsp3000.launch
