Nodes
elektron_base_node
elektron_base_node controls Elektron mobile robot (set wheel speeds), retrieves and calculates odometry.Subscribed Topics
~cmd_vel (geometry_msgs/Twist)- Desired robot speed
Published Topics
~odom (nav_msgs/Odometry)- The odometry of the robot based on the wheel movement
Parameters
~device (string, default: /dev/protonek)- Linux USB device from which to read the data.
- Whether to publish or not odometry transform
- Linear scaling factor for correct odometry
- Angular scaling factor for correct odometry
Provided tf Transforms
odom → base_link- the pose of the robot base in the odom frame. Only provided when publish_odom_tf is enabled.
