Software Version

Robot Software Version

NOTE: If asked what "version" you're running, this is probably the one we mean.
It is convenient to report the software version running on the robot when reporting a ticket.

1. cd to the sdk examples directory on the development workstation

   $ cd ~/<catkin_ws>

2. Run baxter.sh

   $ ./baxter.sh

3. Run rosparm to get the software version

   $ rosparam get /rethink/software_version

Workstation (git) SDK Software Version

You should make sure you have a compatible version of the SDK software from the github repository checked out and running on your Developer Workstation. The version number corresponds to the git 'tag' you checked out.

There are two ways to check this:

1. Look at version listed at the top of the CHANGES.md file in the sdk-examples directory.

2. Look for the "closest" tag in your git checkout:

   $ cd ~/<catkin_ws>
   $ git describe
   v0.6.1-1-g01afa20

In this case, the version would be "v0.6.1".
