Install ros-i2cpwmboard

1

Hi all

I am trying to install ros-i2cpwmboard on my Rasperry Pi3 with Ubiquityrobot.
Unfortunately, I have this message:
fatal: unable to access “https: //git@gitlab.com: bradanlane / ros-i2cpwmboard.git /”: Unable to resolve host: gitlab.com

With the web browser I can see the website.

Thanks in advance

Show us the exact line that is failing that you are using to do git clone or whatever your install requires.

I believe that your install may have wanted you to type without the ‘:’ you are showing.

This works for me:
git clone https://gitlab.com/bradanlane/ros-i2cpwmboard

You will have another problem because doing a clone of this into ~/catkin_ws/src you will at catkin_make time hit a harder to resolve issue than this clone. Our image will not have i2c_smbus files

This is beyond my time to resolve this, tried a few things but no luck.
Sorry but this is the way of the world for use of shared code when the code you are wanting to use requires other things.

I see some hits on i2c_smbus issue like this but none resolved my try.
I have to give up as the weeds are getting deep and I gave it a try but no luck.
Good luck, it looks like a nice board to use, maybe there is different ROS driver somewhere.
