This server reads data from PerceptionNeuron tracking system and publishes it to ROS.

It is a reorganised version of: https://github.com/smhaller/perception-neuron-ros Using the Neuron Data Reader SDK version b15.

Open windows cmd and run the following commands:

git clone https://github.com/eaa3/perception_neuron_ros_win_server.git
mkdir build

Run cmake-gui from cmd. Then, configure and generate a visual studio x86 solution

cmake-gui ..

Having generated visual studio solution, you may either run from the "build" directory:

cmake --build . --config Release

Alternatively, you can open the visual studio solution in the "build" directory and build it.

The generated executable will be at bin/perception_neuron_ros.exe in your project root directory.

This repository contains two ROS Modules:

• a Windows ROS Serial Module, which sends the Perception Neuron BVH Data to a ROS Serial Server
• a ROS BVH tf broadcaster package.

On your windows machine:

• Connect your Perception Neuron to Axis Neuron and publish the BVH data.
• Adapt IP addresses for ROS Serial Server and Axis Neuron in bin/config.txt
• Start bin/perception_neuron_ros.exe

On your ROS machine:

• start roscore and ros serial server
• start perception_neuron_tf_broadcaster
