David, I am actually in the middle of revamping the segway-rmp-ros-pkg to include support for both usb and serial communication, and in the process I am changing a lot about the way the node works. If I remember correctly there rmp100 series have different constants (for determining wheel speed, integrated position, etc...) because it has different wheel sizes and such to the rmp200, I am including an option in my new node to support both the rmp200/400 and the rmp50/100, but that doesn't exist just yet.
Hi all,
I'm trying to get the segway_rmp stack
(http://www.ros.org/wiki/segway_rmp) working and was wondering if there
was anyone else using these drivers (which wrap the IRI drivers) to
connect to a segway rmp100.
I haven't found too much information on the difference between the rmp
100 and 200 so was assuming/hoping that it would work the same - my
reasoning was that someone else on the team got the segway working under
player using some general rmp player driver.
Anyway, when I ran the iri's 'test_segway_rmp_200' program it sent the
segway hurtling into the desk. To protect myself (and everyone else)
from my stupidity the segway is now on blocks. I next ran the
segway_rmp200 ros node and the node looked like it started up ok with an
info message saying something like "Segway Ready". However, it had a
similar result as before where the wheels were sent spinning wildly till
some sort of overload failsafe kicked in.
So I was wondering if anyone else is trying to do the same - or am I
doing something obviously stupid.
Cheers,
Dave
