README for ODrive_CAN ROS2 Package

Overview

The odrive_can package serves as a ROS2 interface, streamlining interactions and control mechanisms with the ODrive motor controller through the CAN communication protocol. Incorporating lifecycle management, this node efficiently manages data exchanges and control operations. It offers a range of ROS2 services for control tasks while employing ROS2 publishers for instantaneous data tracking and surveillance. When integrated with a lifecycle manager, this node has the ability to automatically restart if any issues arise.

Features

  • ROS2 Lifecycle management for robust initialization, configuration, and shutdown.
  • Communication with ODrive using the CAN protocol.
  • ROS2 Services for various control actions like rebooting, clearing errors, setting gains, and setting the axis state.
  • ROS2 Publishers for real-time reporting of sensor data like bus voltage, temperature, encoder values, torque, and current (IQ).

Prerequisites

  1. ROS2 (Tested on Humble Hawksbill)
  2. ODrive Motor Controller with CAN protocol support

Installation

Clone this repository into your ROS2 workspace src/ directory and build using colcon:

cd ~/ros2_ws/src/
git clone [repository_url] odrive_can
cd ..
colcon build --packages-select odrive_can

Source the workspace:

source ~/ros2_ws/install/setup.bash

How to Use

To launch the ODrive node, execute:

ros2 run odrive_can odrive_can_node

or set up your own composable container look at :
