ds_dbw_joystick_demo

ROS2 interface to Dataspeed drive-by-wire platforms

Launch the drive-by-wire and the demo

ros2 launch ds_dbw_joystick_demo joystick_demo.launch.xml sys:=true

Launch the drive-by-wire and the demo and only send brake commands

ros2 launch ds_dbw_joystick_demo joystick_demo.launch.xml sys:=true steer:=false brake:=true thrtl:=false shift:=false misc:=false

Launch the drive-by-wire and the demo and specify all steer options

ros2 launch ds_dbw_joystick_demo joystick_demo.launch.xml sys:=true steer_cmd_type:=angle steer_max:=500.0 steer_rate:=0.0 steer_accel:=0.0

Launch the drive-by-wire and the demo and specify all brake options

ros2 launch ds_dbw_joystick_demo joystick_demo.launch.xml sys:=true brake_cmd_type:=pressure brake_min:=0.0 brake_max:=80.0 brake_inc:=0.0 brake_dec:=0.0
ros2 launch ds_dbw_joystick_demo joystick_demo.launch.xml sys:=true brake_cmd_type:=accel brake_min:=0.1 brake_max:=-8.0 brake_inc:=0.0 brake_dec:=0.0

Launch the drive-by-wire and the demo and specify all throttle options

ros2 launch ds_dbw_joystick_demo joystick_demo.launch.xml sys:=true thrtl_cmd_type:=percent thrtl_min:=0.0 thrtl_max:=100.0 thrtl_inc:=0.0 thrtl_dec:=0.0
