SBL2360 driver about roboteq_control HOT 11 CLOSED

from roboteq_control.

Hi all,

I didn't started to fix the issues of my package, but this morning Roboteq release a ROS package

https://www.roboteq.com/index.php/support/setup-troubleshooting-faq/113-support/supportfaq/484-q-how-to-install-and-use-roboteq-s-ros-package

https://github.com/Roboteq-Inc/ROS-Driver

We should check if this repo cover well all our Roboteq controllers

from roboteq_control.

The https://github.com/Roboteq-Inc/ROS-Driver is a nice driver, but I was looking does no implement any type of ros_control feature.
The https://github.com/Roboteq-Inc/ROS-Driver/blob/master/roboteq_motor_controller_driver/src/diff_odom.cpp implement only an hard coded differiantial drive control.

I think at this time it's better to fix all bugs and make improvements on my package. I will start to work this week 👍

PS: @griz1112 I add in this loop

@rbonghi The question was related to: https://github.com/umdlife/roboteq

Ticks = counts/revolution
N_poles = number of poles of the motor (see datasheet)
Hall_Sensor_Number = Number of all sensors, generally 3 (see datasheet)

Note that I do not maintain that library anymore as I am not working at that company anymore.

Hi @AlexisTM

I am also using SBL2360, but i couldn't get this work with it. Have you successfully control SBL2360 using this roboteq_control?

Dear Samuel, I actually went for another library: https://github.com/umdlife/roboteq forked from https://github.com/g/roboteq

from roboteq_control.

Hi All,

I'm looking your issue. In these days I'm working again with my robot Panther and also with the roboteq control.

Which ROS are you working?

from roboteq_control.

Hi @AlexisTM

Thanks for the sharing, I have questions on below:

Ticks = N_Poles * Hall_Sensor_Number = 8*3 = 24

Ticks = counts/ revolute?
Hall_Sensor_Number, how shall we count?
N_Poles = Number of poles pairs?

Hi @rbonghi
I am currently working on ROS 1 - Kinetic. Hope can get some guidance from you on controlling roboteq control via ROS.

Best,

I came to say the same as @rbonghi

from roboteq_control.

I made significant updates in these days.
Now this code does not have warning from dynamic_reconfigure::Server and I'm fixing #4
I add a new example for a differential drive and rewrite the Readme.
If there are new issues or something not clear keep me posted.

PS: I think I will made a new version of this package for ROS2 soon :-)

Where did you find this line?
If is mine, I didn't found it! 😅

Hi @rbonghi
I am currently working on ROS 1 - Kinetic. Hope can get some guidance from you on controlling roboteq control via ROS.

I made a brand new example to use this package.
differential_drive.launch
I didn't test on Kinetic this test, but I think works fine (It's a simple launcher version of my robot)

Anyway If you have issues or something does not work open a new issue 👍
