Revision history [back]

I have been dealing with this recently, and yes, you have to install ROS in both machines. To start, I would recommend to install ROS Groovy. It has a direct port to Raspbian and installing it is as easy as installing on a PC. Other more recent versions of ROS, can also be installed , but you have to compile the from source, and it can give problems.
