Constructor & Destructor Documentation

move_controller::move_controller ( )

Creates a move_controller using ROS parameters.

Creates a move_controller object that can be used control the Rovio's motors. A valid username, password, and host must be set as ROS parameters.

move_controller::~move_controller ( )

Cleans up any resources and connections to the Rovio.

Uses the deconstructor from the rovio_http class to clean up any resources and connections to the Rovio.

Member Function Documentation

void move_controller::cmd_vel_callback ( const geometry_msgs::Twist::ConstPtr & msg ) [private]

cmd_vel topic callback function.

Process the twist message and set the appropriate fields. This function is adapted from http://www.ros.org/wiki/rovio_controller. A positive angular-z value corresponds to a clockwise rotation. Movement along linear-y corresponds to moving left/right and movement along linear-x corresponds to moving forwards/backwards.

Parameters:
