Welcome to ROS Robot Expansion Board repository

2、Robot information release

After the program runs, the ROS expansion board will return real-time data, including voltage and IMU data. Connecting the car encoder can also obtain the speed of the car.

1、start mode

Taking our company's Rosmaster-X3 as an example, the terminal enters the following command to start，

ros2 run yahboomcar_bringup Mcnamu_driver_X3

2、View topic nodes

Enter the command at the terminal，

xxxxxxxxxx
ros2 topic list

3、Reading Topic Data

If you want to read the voltage value, you need to enter the following command at the terminal，

xxxxxxxxxx
ros2 topic echo /voltage

4、Publish topic data

To publish/cmd_ Taking speed data as an example, terminal input，

xxxxxxxxxx
ros2 topic pub /cmd_vel geometry_msgs/msg/Twist "{linear: {x: 0.5, y: 0.0, z:0.0}, angular: {x: 0.0, y: 0.0, z: 0.2}}"

5、Source code parsing
