Tutorials

A ten-part series that builds up from one sensor node to a driver you wrote yourself. Every part exists in Rust, Python and C++ with the same numbering, so you can follow one language end to end or compare the same step across all three.

/tutorials had no page of its own until now: the individual parts were reachable from the sidebar, but the directory itself returned a 404, which is what anyone following a /tutorials link from outside the site got.

ℹ️Start with Getting Started, not here

These assume you have run something already. If you have not, do Quick Start first — it is the page that introduces the three concepts (node, topic, scheduler) the tutorials use without re-explaining.

The series

#	Part	Rust	Python	C++
1	Sensor node — publish at a fixed rate	Rust	Python	C++
2	Motor controller — subscribe and act	Rust	Python	C++
3	Full robot — several nodes, one scheduler	Rust	Python	C++
4	Custom messages — your own wire types	Rust	Python	C++
5	Hardware and real-time — rates, budgets, deadlines	Rust	Python	C++
6	Services and actions — request/response and long jobs	Rust	Python	C++
7	Parameters deep dive — tuning without recompiling	Rust	Python	C++
8	Multi-process — one robot, several executables	Rust	Python	C++
9	Record and replay — capture a run, replay it	Rust	Python	C++
10	Write a driver — wrap real hardware	Rust	Python	C++

Standalone tutorials

Two more that do not belong to the numbered sequence:

Tutorial	Rust	Python	C++
Real-time control — a hard-RT loop, start to finish	Rust	Python	C++
Migrating from ROS 2 — the API mapping	Rust	Python	C++

Where to go next

Example Projects — ten complete applications in the repository, if you would rather read a finished robot than build one up
Recipes — task-shaped answers, such as bridging to an existing ROS 2 system
CLI Reference — every command the tutorials use
