Raspberry Pi + ROS 2 + Camera

Thu, 08 Oct 2020 00:00:00 +0000

I have written before about running ROS 2 on different Single Board Computers (SBCs), including an Odroid-XU4 and a Coral Edge TPU dev board. Recently I got my hands on a Raspberry Pi 4b and of course thought: “let’s put ROS 2 on it!”

There are several resources on running ROS 2 on a Raspberry Pi using Ubuntu as your OS, but I started out with Raspberry Pi OS (formally known as Raspbian), and I will describe here how to install ROS 2 onto that. And, as a bonus, I will also show how to use the Raspberry Pi Camera Module V2 in this set up. Let’s get started!
