jfstepha / differential-drive Goto Github PK

Would you be open to changing the license to a more permissable one such as BSD 2.0 or MIT?

I am trying to use this package in ros noetic. Can I raise a PR with changes to create upgraded version of this. Looks it was last updated on 2015

Hi,

I was looking at the python code where it calculates the tf of the odometry, and I realized that the variables self.left and self.right increment/decrement with no limit. That is, if the wheel spins forward for a quit a long period of time, there is a possibility that you run out of memory and get an error. Is this the desire behavior?

scripts/diff_tf.py

Best,

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1.
2.
3.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

Hi!
The PID velocity node is a little confusing compared to the differential drive that you imitated. The diagram states that is should be able to connect to an lwheel and an rwheel topic and send data accordingly, however, it looks like it only publishes on the wheel topic. I might not be understanding the system as well as I thought, but any clarification would be great!
Thank you.

Hey,
I just started a ROS2 conversion of this package, would be awesome if you could create a ROS2 branch to create a PR against.
Thanks in advance!

From the documentation of this package it seems that it is only available for EOL distros: fuerte and groovy. I would be interested to use this package with Melodic. Any hints on what needs to be done to use this package with ROS Melodic?

In real robot when I have set some speed to both wheels it is moving in stright line in real world but data from odom shows it is moving in circle.
