Preparing ROS for CAN operation

Introduction

NOTE: this post is not yet complete. What is described in it allows to do some simple tests between CAN and ROS.org ROS, but does now allow yet to pilot the wheels, and the robot. I will update this post as soon as I will have done more config.

Before using the KYDBL 2430-1E brushless controller with ROS, SocketCAN and CANOpen, we need to configure SocketCAN the ROS CANOpen stack. The steps are the following:

1. Setup SocketCAN for automatic startup
2. Create the network device
3. The rest will come later 😇
