Quick Start
Powering on the robot
To power the robot, place it on the charging dock. The Create® 3 lightring will turn on
and the Raspberry Pi will be powered as well. To power off the robot, remove it from the
dock and press and hold the Power button on the Create® 3. The lightring will flash 3
times, and the Create® 3 will play a sound before turning off.

Network Configuration
ROS2 Galactic supports two middlewares: CycloneDDS and FastRTPS. The default is
CycloneDDS.
The Create® 3 and Raspberry Pi both use the usb0 and wlan0 network interfaces to
communicate. As a result, CycloneDDS needs to be configured on the user PC in order
to see the robot topics properly.
