PacSim Keys
Package Information
Description
This package provides a “Control Mock” by allowing the control of the acceleration and steering of the PacSim vehicle using the keyboard.
How to Run
Install Dependencies
./dependencies_install.sh
Compiling
colcon build --packages-up-to pacsim_keys
Running
To run the control mock, you need to run the following command:
ros2 run pacsim_keys pacsim_keys
How to use
The control mock uses the following keys:
- 
w: Increase torque by 0.1 to a max of 1.0
- 
s: Decrease torque by 0.1 to a min of -1.0
- 
a: Increase steering by pi/16 to a max of pi/8
- 
d: Decrease steering by pi/16 to a min of -pi/8
- 
q: Quit
Note: The torque starts at 0.6 right away because the vehicle does not move otherwise. Note2: You need to have the terminal selected for the control to be read. Tip: Have a plot showing the wheel rotation to control the torque better.
