Hey @saviopullkotil, which command did you use to build the workspace? catkin_make or catkin tools: catkin build?

And which Ubuntu and ROS version are you using?

[saviopullkotil]

Hello, Im used catkin_make and im running Ubuntu 20.04 and ROS Noetic

Ok that looks good.

Did you follow the steps to install all source and binary dependencies before running catkin_make?

The build of the workspace should definitely work, because the github action build succeeded.

I also had a doubt that can I use Arduino UNO and L298N motor driver instead of teensy and I2C driver?

[fjp]

Sure, should be possible to use this hardware as well, but it needs some modifications in the microcontroller (mcu) code of the diffbot_base package (scripts/base_controller). What will be needed specifically is a new motor controller class, in this folder, that implements the motor_controller_interface, similar to how it is already done for the adafruit feature wing, which is one example of a concrete implementation for the motor_controller_interface.

But first I recommend you should try to get the catkin workspace to build successfully with the existing software to have a good starting point for rest of the project.

Just wanted to confirm that the build worked locally for me on a clean Ubuntu 20.04 with the steps mentioned here in the reamde: https://github.com/ros-mobile-robots/diffbot#installation

One important command is to install the dependencies with:

rosdep install --from-paths src --ignore-src -r -y

Hope this helps, otherwise please let me know if you encounter the same issue you mention above.
