## Setup local copy
In order to download this repository to a local machine (Desktop, Raspberry Pi) do this:
* Create new directory to use as a workspace: `mkdir -p ~/workspace`  
Depending on framework (ROS/ROS2) move to the location where you place your packages.
* Move to directory: `cd ~/workspace`
* `git init`
* `git remote add origin https://egit.irs.uni-stuttgart.de/RoverLehre/STEVE_Cammast.git`
* `git fetch --all`
* `git reset --hard origin/master`
* **Important:**  
Configure `.git/config` in order commit changes using your personal egit account:
```txt
[user]
        name = <replace with your username>
        email = <replace with your irs-email>
```  
For example:  
```txt
[user]
        name = maxmustermann
        email = max@irs.uni-stuttgart.de
```
* **Important:**  
Do not upload to the `master` branch but instead create your own branch. This prevents pushing experimental code to `master`. Creating a new branch will copy your local `master` repository to your new branch:
  * Create a new branch: `git branch <branch_name>`
  * Move to new branch: `git ckeckout <branch_name>`
  * Check content: `ls -s`
  * After creating a new branch **or** changing its content you must push it to the remote repo: 
    * `git commit -am "new branch created"`
    * `git push origin <branch_name>`
* Continue working in your local and remote branch but do not push to `master`!

## Run local copy  
In order to run the code the steps above must be done within the ROS *catkin* workspace (eg. `~/catkin_ws/src/`). The folder *Steve* thus represents the ROS package folder.  

Read the [ROS documentation](http://wiki.ros.org/catkin/workspaces) on the function of the *catkin* workspace and follow the ROS [instructions on building](http://wiki.ros.org/catkin/commands/catkin_make) your *catkin* workspace.

## Folders
* __documentation__ contains instruction material, text and pictures for documentation purposes
* __Steve__ contains the ROS package for running the Steve Camera Mast on a Raspberry Pi (3/4)

## Prerequisites
* The user should have read the [Design Report](Link), especially appendix A (Assembly and Installation Procedure). However, this report represents the end of the student project and is only in part still correct.
*
