When learning with the ARBOTIX simulator, the commands of many other websites, including the latest version, includesudo apt-get install ros-kinetic-arbotix-*, not successful installation

Then try to use git to download the source code compilation:

download source code:

git clone  https://github.com/vanadiumlabs/arbotix_ros.git

Then build a new/src under the/arbotix_ros folder, cut all other files to/src, and then use catkin_make to compile the source code

At this time, it prompts an error:

ERROR: cannot launch node of type [arbotix_python/arbotix_driver]: arbotix_python
ROS path [0]=/opt/ros/kinetic/share/ros
ROS path [1]=/home/xcy/catkin_lml/src
ROS path [2]=/home/xcy/catkin_syl/src
ROS path [3]=/home/xcy/catkin_ws/src
ROS path [4]=/opt/ros/kinetic/share

The reason is that there is no search path;

Add to the .bashrc file: Source ~/Download_Code/Arbotix_ros/DEVEL/SETUP.BASH

The specific path needs to be modified according to the location you downloaded;

and then compile will be successful
