Project 1: Duckiebot Square

Video Link: [Replace with your video link]

Objective:

Drive the Duckiebot in a square pattern on the lab floor while integrating LED feedback.

Instructions:

1. Wheel Calibration:

Before starting the project, it's essential to calibrate the wheels to ensure accurate movement. Adjust the resolution parameters in the wheel_encoder node.

2. Build the Project on the Duckie:

• Run the following commands to build and launch the sample project code:

  catkin_make
  source devel/setup.bash
  roslaunch project1 project1.launch
  

• Ensure that the Duckie changes colors every second.
• Confirm that the color change is logged on the screen.

3. Project 1 Code:

Write the code for the Duckiebot to perform the following tasks:

a. LED Indication:

Before starting its movement, the Duckiebot should use its LED lights to indicate its intention to move.

b. Square Movement:

Drive the Duckiebot in a square pattern present on the lab floor. When the robot comes to a stop:

• The intensity of the rear LEDs should be at its maximum.
• The LED color should be red, mimicking a car's brake lights.

c. Post-Movement LED Pattern:

Once the Duckiebot has completed the square, the LED lights should display a cool pattern.
