## Usage
|
|
|
|
1. Hoverboard port can be set as a "port" parameter in the node namespace. Check `hoverboard.launch` and `4x4.launch` for examples of 2WD and 4WD configurations. 4WD config is purely for illustration on how to use several ports, but was **not** tested with two hoverboards.
|
|
2. `roslaunch hoverboard_driver hoverboard.launch`
|
|
3. Use any tool (keyboard_teleop, rqt) to send speed commands to `hoverboard_velocity_controller/cmd_vel`.
|
|
|
|
In 4x4 configuration, if you want to control both axis with the same `cmd_vel`, you can apply remapping as following:
|
|
```xml
|
|
<launch>
|
|
<group ns="front">
|
|
<param name="port" type="str" value="/dev/ttyTHS1"/>
|
|
<remap from="/front/hoverboard_velocity_controller/cmd_vel" to="/cmd_vel"/>
|
|
<include file="$(find hoverboard_driver)/launch/hoverboard.launch" />
|
|
</group>
|
|
<group ns="rear">
|
|
<param name="port" type="str" value="/dev/ttyTHS2"/>
|
|
<remap from="/rear/hoverboard_velocity_controller/cmd_vel" to="/cmd_vel"/>
|
|
<include file="$(find hoverboard_driver)/launch/hoverboard.launch" />
|
|
</group>
|
|
</launch>
|
|
```
|
