ROS2 Support

[joewong00]

I need to use this serial library in my ROS2 package. However, I cannot build and install this package because it has the dependency of catkin. Catkin is not supported by ROS2 now and I could not install it, how do I fix this issue?

I came across another issue mentioning that we can remove the catkin dependency entirely. I tried doing it and it successfully installed. But how do I include the serial in my package? Building my ROS2 package gives the error "could not find a package configuration file provided by "serial" with any of the following names.

Check out: https://github.com/RoverRobotics-forks/serial-ros2

clone it into your src folder of your colcon workspace and colcon build. Afterwards, you should be able to find_package(serial REQUIRED) and ament_target_dependencies(target serial) after sourcing the setup.bash of your colcon workspace.

Any ideas please on how to fix this?
