Connecting a Servo to the OpenCR

Connecting a Servo to the OpenCR

pitosalas opened this issue 2 years ago · 6 comments

Looking around the source code and googling around, it seems to be that the Turtlebot3 / OpenCR board is set up to accept a servo connector. I see there's a package called servo etc. My question is where on the OpenCR board should we attach the servo connector? THank you!

Hi,
If it is meaning PWM servo, ROBOTIS e-manual has the Pin assign description.

I see. Can you say whether how to enable the topic via rosserial on the OpenCR or does that happen "automatically"?

Hi,
This OpenCR ROS examples may help you to implement the publisher / subscriber for PWM motor control.
Similar sub/pubs are implemented in the TurtleBot3 ROS example.

Thank you. I cannot locate the OpenCR ROS examples. And the TB3 ROS example shows the ROS side. I am asking about the OpenCR side. For example: `self.bumper_sub = rospy.Subscriber('sensor_state', SensorState, self.get_bumper, queue_size = 1)` I need the code on the OpenCR side that would publish sensor_state Any pointers?

@pitosalas
I'm sorry about the delayed response.
ROS examples in OpenCR board manager have those pub/sub implmentations.
For example, the bumper status is published via "bumper" topic in the example below.
https://github.com/ROBOTIS-GIT/OpenCR/blob/master/arduino/opencr_arduino/opencr/libraries/ROS/examples/02.%20Sensors/a_bumper/a_bumper.ino#L58

Similarly, the TurtleBot3 sensor state message is published in the below.
https://github.com/ROBOTIS-GIT/OpenCR/blob/master/arduino/opencr_arduino/opencr/libraries/turtlebot3/examples/turtlebot3_burger/turtlebot3_core/turtlebot3_core.ino#L258

Thank you.

Thanks… Is there a developer guide for OpenCR? Because I understand the code you linked me to but I dont know where the “main loop” is for opencr where I would add rosserial code to subscribe to a topic and send the right commands to the servo.
