Hardware Requirements
To use this package you need a Care-O-bot light modul connected via USB.
ROS API
The cob_light package provides a node that connects to the light hardware board and offers a message interface over topics. The current state of the light is published as a visualization marker.
cob_light.py
The cob_light.py node takes in std_msgs/ColorRGBA messages and send this directly to the hardware. If no hardware is present, the node runs in a simulated mode only publishing visualization markers.Subscribed Topics
command (std_msgs/ColorRGBA)- Receives color commands in RGBA format.
 
Published Topics
marker (visualization_msgs/Marker)- Publishes the current state of the light.
 
Parameters
~devicestring (string, default: Required)- Device identifier for hand, e.g. /dev/ttyUSB3
 
- Baudrate of serial interface, e.g. 230400
 
Usage/Examples
The package can be used via a launch file which loads all parameters and starts the light node. For starting the light use
roslaunch cob_bringup light.launch
For including the light in your overall launch file use
<include file="$(find cob_bringup)/components/light.launch" />
A sample parameter file could look like this
devicestring: /dev/ttyUSB3 baudrate: 230400
For testing the light you can start a test_script which changes the LEDs to different colors.
rosrun cob_light test.py
