So I am working on a capstone team that is trying to use the Ping Echosounder for obstacle detection. Our goal is to integrate it into an existing UAV that is running a custom version of MOOS-IvP running on a Beaglebone Black, but initially we just want to write a program that will turn an LED on if…

Hi Noah, welcome to the forum! :slight_smile: The separate CMakeLists.txt files allow you to use those as libraries within your own application.
