In the terminal, type out "cd catkin_ws/" followed by "source devel/setup.bash" \\  2) One of the terminals will be used to connect to the wifi.

-Then type out "roslaunch vrpn_client_ros sample.launch server:=192.168.50.229". The IP address at the end has to be the address of the Mocap computer. To find that out, type "ipconfig" in the Mocap computer's terminal. \\ +Then type out "roslaunch vrpn_client_ros sample.launch server:=192.168.50.229" and the following will show up.
