Interfacing non-Arduino boards to ROS
Arduino boards are commonly used boards in robots, but what happens if we want a board that is more powerful than Arduino? In such a case, we may want to write a custom driver for the board, which can convert the serial messages into topics. The following link helps you to guide writing a custom driver for the new board:
Setting up the Odroid-C4, Raspberry Pi 4, and Jetson Nano for installing ROS
The Odroid-C4 and Raspberry Pi 4 are single-board computers that have a low form factor, the size of a credit card. These single board computers can be installed in robots and we can install ROS on them.
A comparison of the main specifications of Odroid-C4, Raspberry Pi 4, and Jetson Nano is shown next:
