# ExoMy - Model Repository
*Disclaimer: This model and the simulation are still in development and subject to change. If you want to contribute to the project, contact us with your plans [Discord](https://discord.gg/gZk62gg).*

This repository contains an urdf model describing Exomy.
This repository contains a URDF representation of ExoMy, that can be used in the visualization tool rviz2 and the simulation environment Gazebo.

The software is supposed to run on a more powerful machine than the Raspberry Pi.
It was tested on a laptop with Ubuntu 20.04.
## How to run
0. Clone this repository `git clone https://github.com/esa-prl/ExoMy_Model ~/ExoMy_Model`
1. Checkout the branch `feature/urdf` from ExoMy_Software.
2. I had to run `xhost +SI:localuser:root` to get the GUI working.
3. Start the docker container with `sh run_exomy.sh -d`
4. Inside the docker run: `source devel/setup.sh`
5. Run: `roslaunch exomy_model display.launch gui:=True`
6. Control the joints with the gui.

- Clone this repository `git clone https://github.com/esa-prl/ExoMy_Model` next to the `ExoMy_Software` folder
- Be sure to be on the branch `ros2/foxy` on both repositories
- To allow programs being opened from within the docker container run `xhost +local:docker`
- Change to the folder `ExoMy_Model/docker`
- Start the Docker container with `docker-compose run --name exomy_sim exomy_sim`
- Inside the docker run `colcon build`
- Followed by `source install/setup.zsh`
- Launch the simulation with `ros2 launch exomy_sim_launch simulation.launch.py`
- Rviz2 and gazebo should open and you can drive around with the gamepad
