17th week: noVNC running with VisualCircuit.

This week I’ve been experimenting with noVNC and the docker.

Since I already had a “working page” (moreless working xd), I tried to work on a simpler way to launch the docker and all the displays without needing 6 terminals and 10 commands in each.

For this, I developed a bash script that launches all the displays (just the visible thing in the website) and it is here.

Also, to launch the docker, we need to use the next command in order to be able to use every port:

  sudo docker run --rm -it -p 6080:6080 -p 6081:6081 -p 6082:6082 -p 6083:6083  turtlebot2

The important thing for this week is to test if the docker works with ROS2 and if it also works with a VisualCircuit project. I decided to use one of the projects I already had in my repo, in this case the laser with ROS2 project.

So I sended manually the project into the docker and launched everything. As we can see in the video, the measures shown in text in the docker’s shell are changing when I move the blocks in the docker’s gazebo. This seems to work!!
