# Wiimote Teleop Sample Node This sample ROS Node subscribes to the wiimote topics /wiimote/nunchuk /wiimote/state And publishes command velocity used for motion /cmd_vel Either the four way D-pad of the Wiimote or the Joystick of the Nunchuk can be used for controlling the values published for `/cmd_vel`. **Note:** The Joystick and D-pad are mutually exclusive; if one is in use the other is ignored. ## ROS parameters base (string) Base name space string to prepend to velocity ROS parameters. linear/x/max_velocity (double) Maximum linear velocity (in m/s) linear/x/min_velocity (double) Minimum linear velocity (in m/s). Setting this to 0.0 will disable backwards motion. When unspecified, -max_velocity is used. angular/z/max_velocity (double) Maximum angular velocity (in rad/s) angular/z/min_velocity (double) Minimum angular velocity (in rad/s). Setting this to 0.0 will disable counter-clockwise rotation. When unspecified, -max_velocity is used. linear/x/throttle_percent (double) Default linear throttle percentage (0.0 to 1.0). Adjustable via the '1' and '+/-' buttons on the Wiimote. Defaults to 0.75. Private parameter which does not use the 'base'. angular/z/throttle_percent (double) Default angular throttle percentage (0.0 to 1.0). Adjustable via the '2' and '+/-' buttons on the Wiimote. Defaults to 0.75. Private parameter which does not use the 'base'. ## Button Definitions | Button | Function | |:--------------:| ---------------------------------- | | D-Pad Up | Move Forward | | D-Pad Down | Move Reverse | | D-Pad Left | Turn/Spin Left | | D-Pad Right | Turn/Spin Right | | B (Trigger) | 2x Speed (up to Max) | | A | 1/4 Speed | | | | | Home | Display Wiimote battery level | | | | | 1\* | Linear Throttle (defaults to 75%) | | 2\* | Angular Throttle (defaults to 75%) | | + | Increase Throttle (rumbles at max) | | - | Decrease Throttle (rumbles at min) | | | | | Joystick Up | Move Forward | | Joystick Down | Move Reverse | | Joystick Left | Turn/Spin Left | | Joystick Right | Turn/Spin Right | | Z (Trigger) | 2x Speed (up to Max) | | C (Trigger) | 1/4 Speed | | | | \* Throttle level displayed on Wiimote LEDs ### Launch File Examples Launch files are provided with usage examples using the turtlebot simulator for both Python (turtlesim_py.launch) and C++ (turtlesim_cpp.launch). Requires the installation of ros-<release>-turtlesim ROS package.
