Example package how to use pixi for a ROS2 workspace

Running ros2

You are now ready to clone this package and run the simulation

git clone https://github.com/ruben-arts/turtlesim-pixi.git

pixi run turtlesim

Open an extra terminal where you can run the teleop

pixi run teleop

And in another terminal you could open the rqt viewer.

pixi run rqt

Building colcon packages

# Run the custom build command to do a colcon build
pixi run build 

# Run the custom command to do a ros2 run, this depends on build so that will always be ran first. 
# Note that the first time you run the build it will setup its own colcon environment. 
# This has to be re-enabled, rerun any commando to activate the environment including the activation scripts.

pixi run start
# Now you should see a turtlesim move in a square. This is done using a launch file.

Checkout the pixi.toml for more tasks you can execute.

Workspace setup.

The pixi project is a complete ROS2 workspace including two package turtle_controller_cpp_py and turtle_controller_py where one is a ament_cmake package and the other a ament_python package. This is done to just give an example on how to do a minimal setup for both types.
