🚀 ROS Package - MR76 NANORADAR Interface

This ROS package provides an interface for communicating with the MR76 NanoRadar , enabling ROS-based applications to access data from the MR76 radar sensor.

The MR76 radar outputs data over CAN, so a CAN to Serial converter is required to connect to the USB of the host device.

Requirements

To use this package, you will need the following dependencies:

• radar_msgs
• can_msgs
• socketcan_bridge

You can install these dependencies on ROS Melodic using the following commands:

sudo apt-get install ros-melodic-radar-msgs
sudo apt-get install ros-melodic-can-msgs
sudo apt-get install ros-melodic-socketcan-bridge

Installation

mkdir -p catking_ws/src
cd catking_ws/src
git clone https://github.com/harrylal/radar_mr76.git
cd ..
catkin build radar_mr76

Usage

1. Source your ROS workspace:

   source devel/setup.bash

2. Start the socketcan_bridge using the provided bash script

   bash src/radar_mr76/scripts/radar_can.sh

3. Start the radar node using the provided launch file

   roslaunch radar_mr76 radar_publisher.launch

Configuration
