It took me a week to learn and get the full working stack functional, including created the scene in Blender. This is my first go with ROS,Gazebo,Rviz & MoveIt2… I’m not going to say it wasn’t frustrating! But now that I have the motion planning and execution working it was worth it!

Thanks for sharing.
Would love to hear any thoughts and feedback you have on how we could make it a little less frustrating for the next person.

Thanks for the reply! This was my first go at it and I hate templates. So I did a sequential setup, starting with nothing. Trying to learn from the foundation up, I’m not sure most people learn the way I do. I need to understand the systems, how they work, what they do. And for this stack there is a lot of systems and processes running to get the sim functioning. I just added my first cam and image bridge so I can do some CV. Now that I understand what topics are, and how to self.create_subscription(Image, ‘/camera/image_raw’) it makes sense. It was just that first step into the eco-system, even as a Principal Software Engineer was like… “is this out of my league?”
