Connect Loomo to Ubuntu PC for ROS
It's relatively easy to just put the Loomo and PC on the same wifi network, start a ROS master on the PC, and pass messages.
But it's preferable to have a hard-wire connection between the two devices, since it should be faster and more relibale than WiFi.
In particular, we will use USB tethering from Android->PC in these instructions.
Note: This method allows the ROS master to be set either on PC or Android! And no root access needed on Android.
--------------------------------------------------
Switch Loomo into Developer Mode (Settings > System > Loomo Developer > Developer Mode)
- (I think this requires an internet connection, so join a wifi network now.)
You might need to switch Android into Developer Mode (tap some setting 7 times...look online for instructions).
