Steps:

  - READ THE PLAYER MANUAL

  - install RTK2
  - install Player
  - run Player with a config file that specifies where your laser is=20
connected (/dev/ttyS0?)
  - run playerv --laser

Please, please, please, read the manual and other docs. Just think 'my=20=

PC' when you read 'robot' and all should be clear.

fix it.
