UPDATE ROS DISTRIBUTION FOR ROBTIS OP3

[emrahaslan33]

Hi.
I started working with Robotis OP3. Suggests ROS Kinetic distribution for Robotis OP3. But support for Kinetic will end in April.So I installed UBUNTU 18.04 and ROS melodic distributions. There is no ros-kinetic-humanoid-nav-msgs package in ROS Melodic. Therefore, I cannot install ROBOTIS OP3 on ROS. What should I do for this?

Another question is that Robotis OP3 includes distributors Ros Kinetic and Python2. The current distributions are ROS Melodic and Python3. Others are out of date. Do I need to update my robot's ROS distribution? If I update, will there be problems with my robot?
Thank you.

Hi,

Some 3rd party ROS packages may not support ROS Melodic as you mentioned.
Since OP3 depends on several 3rd party Kinetic packages, it is recommended to use with Kinetic.
Updating Python version may cause deprecated method / expression issues so I'd recommend to use Python2 in Kinetic.
Thank you.
