Re: [Java-player-users] Wheel control...

[Radu B. R. <ve...@in...>]

Hello Hugo,

In theory it should be achievable using setVelocityControl (). However, not
every robot supports it, and it seems that Stage also doesn't. Here's the
snippet from Player's manual:
"
Configuration request: Change velocity control.
...
The p2os driver offers two modes of velocity control: separate translational
and rotational control and direct wheel control. When in the separate mode,
the robot's microcontroller internally computes left and right wheel
velocities based on the currently commanded translational and rotational
velocities and then attenuates these values to match a nice predefined
acceleration profile. When in the direct mode, the microcontroller simply
passes on the current left and right wheel velocities. Essentially, the
separate mode offers smoother but slower (lower acceleration) control, and
the direct mode offers faster but jerkier (higher acceleration) control.
Player's default is to use the direct mode. Set mode to zero for direct
control and non-zero for separate control.
...
"

Sorry for replying so late,
Radu.
