Chapter 3 - Visual Programming using MiROS
You will learn how to create a project.
Once you log in to MiROS, you will land in Project Manager shown as below:
IN THIS LESSON
OPTION 1
Start with a template
If your robot model is listed in one of the templates, you can select the correct template and proceed to create a new Workspace for your project. By selecting the right template, your project will start with all the factory default ROS packages preinstalled on your robot.
IMPORTANT：
If you create a new Workspace by selecting a robot template, the ROS packages you are going to create and the factory default ROS packages are all stored and run on the MiROS Cloud and the docker container in your localhost computer, not on your robot.
You can connect to your robot during your project development by topic subscriptions or publications or trigger launch files on your robot remotely from MiROS on your localhost computer. The ROS software on your robot is untouched throughout your project development on MiROS until you export your own code to your robot and compile it.
OPTION 2
Start from scratch
If your robot is not listed as one of the templates, you will need to create your own project from scratch by clicking the red cross button.
When you are creating your project from scratch, you can still load the ROS packages from your robot to MiROS webpage. You will learn about the details in the next chapter.
