## Dependencies

### Noether

This repository depends on the [Noether](https://github.com/ros-industrial/noether) tool path planning repository which utilizes custom versions of PCL and VTK.

Follow its instructions for installing the required dependencies

### SQL Database (Optional)

The following debian packages are required to use the database functionality. Please ensure they have been installed before building this repository.

- `libqt5sql5-mysql`

- `libmysqlclient-dev`

- `libssl-dev`

## Install instructions

1. After cloning the repository, install its dependencies into your workspace.

    ```bash

    cd 

    wstool init src src/toolpath_offline_planning/dependencies.rosinstall

    rosdep install --from-paths src --ignore-src -r -y

    ```

1. Build and source the workspace

    ```bash

    # Optionally skip building the SQL database interface package

    catkin config -a --blacklist opp_database

    # Build the repository

    catkin build

    source devel/setup.bash

    ```

## Offline Tool Path Planner GUI

The tool path planner GUI is an RViz panel designed to facilitate the setup of new models and tool path

planning on those models. The GUI also hosts an interface to the database for saving this information.

### Usage

1. Build and source the package

1. Run the application

    ```

    roslaunch opp_startup planner_application.launch

    ```

1. Follow the order of operations of the GUI

   Load an object

   define touchoff and verification points

   save the object to the database

   create a new job

   run one of the many tool path planners

   save the job to a database
