Published Topics

odom (nav_msgs/Odometry)
  • Odometry data.
battery_state (erratic_player/BatteryState)
  • Battery data.
ir (erratic_player/RangeArray)
  • IR sensors range information.
sonar (erratic_player/RangeArray)

Parameters

port_name (string, default: "/dev/ttyUSB0")
  • Name of the serial port that the robot is connected to.
odometry_frame_id (string, default: "odom")
  • The name of the frame which will be used to send stamped transforms through the TF mechanism.

  • Maximum rotational deceleration, nonpositive. The value of "0" means use robot's default value.
enable_ir (bool, default: false)
  • Whether to enable IR sensors.
enable_sonar (bool, default: false)
  • Whether to enable Sonar sensors.
enable_vision_pan_tilt (bool, default: false)
  • Whether to enable vision pan/tilt servo motors.
enable_ranger_tilt (bool, default: false)
