Chapter 16: Troubleshooting and Best Practices in ROS

In this chapter, we will discuss how to set up an Integrated Development Environment (IDE) with ROS, best practices in ROS, and troubleshooting tips for ROS. This is the last chapter of this book, so before we start development in ROS, it would be good to know the standard methods for writing code. The following are the topics that we are going to discuss in this chapter:

Setting up Visual Studio Code IDE with ROS
Best practices in ROS
Best coding practices for ROS packages
Important troubleshooting tips for ROS

Before we start coding in ROS, we should set up a ROS development environment in an IDE.

Setting up an IDE for coding and, in particular, for ROS is not mandatory, but it can save developers time. IDEs can provide auto-completion features, as well as build and debugging tools that can make programming easy. We can use any editor, such as Sublime Text or Vim, or simply Gedit for coding in ROS...
