Hi Laura, yes, I'm able to move my robot using my keyboard; in order to do that I use the teleop_base package ( http://www.ros.org/browse/details.php?name=teleop_base ). It sends velocity commands to your driver (geometry_msgs/Twist) to the p2os driver, that it should "traslate" your command to p2os firmware command (and send it, of course). As first attempt, I suggest to set (into the code :( there's no parameter for that) the max_speed (linear speed) and the max_turn (angular speed) parameter, just for safety. If you will have problem, just let's me know.
