robot-playerjoy1

Console-based client for teleoperation

Usage

robot-playerjoy [options] <host:port> [<host:port>]

Overview

robot-playerjoy is a console-based client that provides planar, differential-drive teleoperation of position2d and position3d devices. In other words, robot-playerjoy allows you to manually drive your (physical or simulated) robot around. robot-playerjoy uses velocity control, and so will only work when the underlying driver supports velocity control (most drivers do).

Options

-v: verbose mode. Print the Player device state on stdout.

-3d: connect to position3d interface (instead of position).

-c: continuously send commands.

-n: don't send commands or enable motors (for debugging).

-k: use keyboard control (instead of joystick device).

-p: print out speeds on the console.

-udp: use UDP instead of TCP (deprecated, currently disabled).

-speed speed: maximum linear speed in meter per second (default: 0.5).

-turnspeed speed: maximum angular speed in degrees per second (default: 60).

-dev device: joystick device file the joystick is connected to (default: /dev/js0).
