About this Repository

We will start with installation of Rosserial Package installation into our system . Which is going to be utilized for ESP32 and ROS Communication

• esp_src : Contains scripts for esp32 microcontroller
• src : contains scripts of nodes basedon ROS1
• notes : Contains all lecture notes taught during the course

Source Codes and lectures are arranged with the following Order

- **Section 1:** Basic ROS - ESP32 Interfacing
    - Led Toggling
    - Ultrasonic Sensor controlling Turtlesim
- **Section 2:** ROS based Car driving
    - Motor Controlling
    - cmd_vel to Pwm Serial
    - Car Control over Wifi
- **Section 3:** Robot car and ROS services
    - Encoders interfacing
    - ROS Service Nodes
    - Drove robot through Services on Time.
- **Section 4:** Odometery publishing Car Driving
    - Encoders ticks profiling
    - Odom differential Drive Rviz
    - transforms
