Important Notes

The environment variable ROS_MASTER_URI idendifies where the ROS MASTER NODE is running. Verify that your phone is in "Local ROS Master" and adjust the IP of the ROS_MASTER_URI variable with the address of the phone (visible at the first page of the application).

The library we provide is already taking care of this enviroment variable, but in case you encouter any problems you know where to look for.
