Hi Dan,
I send the MotorState command of 4 and have no problems.
I have a teleop keyboard port which I use for communicating with the p3dx
that you can find here:
github.com/trhermans/AffLearning/tree/master/pioneer_control/
Note: the launch file is setup for a p3dx with a PTZ connected to an onboard
computer and uses the probe camera driver to get the video stream.
<http://github.com/trhermans/AffLearning/tree/master/pioneer_control/>I have
only been testing the changes to the p2os package on a p3dx with an onboard
computer, I don't think this should have any issues, but it could. Let me
know if the keyboard operation gives the same problems you have now and I'll
try and help debug it.
