ROS drivers for joysticks

joystick_drivers's Issues

Should the Joy message be in a package other than joy? (ros-pkg ticket #2819)

WiiMote update for sensor_msgs/JoyFeedbackArray (ros-pkg ticket #5044)

I created a patch to make the WiiMote driver support the new sensor_msgs JoyFeedbackArray message and be compatible with feedback like ps3joy as reviewed here: http://www.ros.org/wiki/ps3joy/Reviews/2011-07-05%20ps3joy_msg_Proposal_API_Review_API_Review

I also removed the unneeded message files and updated the test files to test LED and Rumble at once.

joy/Joy msg should have a header (ros-pkg ticket #4790)

Just like any other sensor stream (images, lasers, IMUs), joystick messages should be stamped upon receipt by the driver.

I want to answer questions like "how much time was there between button press 1 and button press 2". The cleanest way to do this would be with a header field.

Wiimote Classic Controller can't publish (ros-pkg ticket #5045)

Wii Classic Controller (ros-pkg ticket #4545)

I have made a small change in the wiimote package so it can handle the messages from the Classic Controller if it is attached to the Wiimote.

A new topic "wiimote/classic (joy/Joy)" has been added.
Axes are: Left Joystick X/Y, Right Joystick X/Y.
The buttons order is X, Y, A, B, PLUS, MINUS, LEFT, RIGHT, UP, DOWN, HOME, L, R, ZL, ZR.

PS3 joy node needs new button mappings when plugged in (ros-pkg ticket #2640)

Curt noticed that the PS3 joy axis mappings are different when the PS3 is plugged in through the USB connection. They're 8 bit (0-256) over bluetooth, but 16 bit (+/- 32k) over USB.

Blaise, any idea how to fix this? I'd like to auto detect the switch and change the normalization.

Joystick Tutorials need updated for migration of Joy message to sensor_msgs (ros-pkg ticket #5306)

I've seen at least two questions on ROS Answers regarding issues with following the joystick tutorials and having MD5SUM mismatches because the tutorials (and code that is automatically being displayed on the wiki) refer to joy::Joy, which was moved to sensor_msgs::Joy.

Example question on ROS Answers: http://answers.ros.org/question/3353/learning_joy

The joystick driver tutorials (http://www.ros.org/wiki/joystick_drivers_tutorials) need to be updated to reflect the migration of joy::Joy to sensor_msgs::Joy, since the joy_node has been updated to publish sensor_msgs::Joy and not joy::Joy.

Apply patch to allow continuous output stream from ps3joy (ros-pkg ticket #5559)

The ps3joy to joy toolchain will not output new joy messages unless some of the values have changed. With steady hands and an unchanging command, the joy values will trigger command timeouts on many platforms.

One easy way to accomplish continuous outputs is to always output whenever one of the accelerometers or gyroscopes changes by even one increment. In joystick jargon, this would mean to set the axis fuzz and axis flat parameters both to zero. This change would also produce better results when using the controller as a motion measurement device, since you rarely want a deadband in the center of an accelerometer output.

I've attached a patch that adds a new option: '--continuous-output' that will output continuous motion sensor streams, and as a side effect of continuous output, no longer leaves long periods of no messages on the /joy topic.

Once this patch is applied, the documentation should be updated. This patch might even work several ros releases back since the ps3joy.py file is independent of ROS.

added deadband parameters to spacenav_node (ros-pkg ticket #5474)

I wanted to be able to hold the spacenav device in a largely-deflected position without having to wiggle it to keep it from broadcasting zeros. I added four params:

'''zero_when_static'''[[BR]]
type: bool[[BR]]
default: true[[BR]]
true gives current (classic) behavior, wherein the spacenav_node broadcasts zeros whenever the spacenav is held in a fixed position (static) for a certain number of polls.

'''static_count_threshold'''[[BR]]
type: int[[BR]]
default: 30[[BR]]
This is the number of polls before it considers the device "static."

'''static_trans_deadband'''[[BR]]
type: float[[BR]]
default: 30[[BR]]
When zero_when_static=false, this is the value that one of three translation components needs to exceed in order to not be zeroed out when the device is static.

'''static_rot_deadband'''[[BR]]
Similar to above, but applies to rotations.

I also added three launchfiles:[[BR]]
classic.launch (current behavior)[[BR]]
no_deadband.launch (no special handling of the device output)

static_deadband.launch (some numbers for the static deadband that seem reasonable)[[BR]]

I've attached a diff and the actual files.
