# Description # Description
This ROS node contains the physical description of the model car used for the [ADC competition](http://autonomousdrivingchallenge.com/ "ADC competition"). This ROS package contains the physical description of a 1:8 scale model car used for the autonomous driving competitions. This description can be used either in the real model car or in the simulated model.
This description can be used in either the real model car and also in the simulated model.

# How to use it # How to use it
Download the node inside a catkin workspace: * Move to workspace:
```
roscd && cd ../src
```
git clone https://gitlab.iri.upc.edu/seat_adc/model_car_description.git * Clone the repository:
```
git clone https://gitlab.iri.upc.edu/labrobotica/ros/devices/dynamixel_pan_tilt/iri_dynamixel_pan_tilt_driver.git -b kinetic-migration
```
This node provides two launch files: * Compile:
```
roscd && cd .. && catkin_make -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release
```
This package provides a simple launch file to display the physical description of the model car and control each of the joints using the [joint_state_publisher](http://wiki.ros.org/joint_state_publisher) node:
```
roslaunch model_car_description description_test.launch
```
This launch file include a second launch file named *description.launch* which is intended to be included from other launch file that require the model car description. This launch file has two parameters:
* **name** (default=model_car): name of the car used as a namespace to include everything inside it.
* **sim_config_path** (default=model_car_gazebo/config): path where the simulation sensor configuration files for all sensors are located. See the [model_car_gazebo]() documentation for more details.
To include the model_car_description into an other launch file, include the following lines:
```
<include file="$(find model_car_description)/launch/description.launch">
<arg name="name" value="$(arg name)"/>
<arg name="sim_config_path" value="$(arg sim_config_path)"/>
</include>
```
