[Project template] keyboard control not working
I would like to control the diff drive from the templates' bringup example, by keyboard.
The recipe I have followed:
https://gazebosim.org/docs/garden/mov...
I can see the keystroke data in a terminal using gz topic -e -t /keyboard/keypress
, when I press keys from within the active simulation, with KeyPublisher plugin activated. I have placed the TriggeredPublisher
plugins under the world
tag in diff_drive.sdf
. For example
<!-- Moving Forward-->
<plugin filename="gz-sim-triggered-publisher-system"
name="gz::sim::systems::TriggeredPublisher">
<input type="gz.msgs.Int32" topic="/keyboard/keypress">
<match field="data">16777235</match>
</input>
<output type="gz.msgs.Twist" topic="/cmd_vel">
linear: {x: 0.5}, angular: {z: 0.0}
</output>
</plugin>
I'm pretty sure I got the key mapping right in the plugins. I also make sure to colcon build
and . install/setup.sh
after any changes in the .sdf file.
Anyhow the robot does not move at all in the simulation. Am I using the wrong topics, since they come from a unrelated tutorial?
EDIT: I can see the cmd_vel
messages from the keystrokes using gz topic -e -t /cmd_vel
in a fresh shell. Example:
linear {
x: 0.5
}
angular {
}
Still, the robot does not move.
