8/ Robot dashboard

8.1/ Creating a dashboard

In order to create a dash board just source you ros environment and run:

rqt

Then you will have this kind of window:

In the plugins tab you have the list of loadable plugins you want. Meaning all the ROS ecosystem at your disposal and on GUI.

Example:

Enjoy!

8.2/ Launching the dashboard

In order to launch it you need:

  • The rqt_dynamic_graph plugin from my fork though. There is a lot to do before this plugin is robust enough to be merge in the LAAS master.
    git clone --recursive https://github.com/MaximilienNaveau/rqt_dynamic_graph.git
  • A dynamic_graph_manager main running: for simple testing you can run:
    rosrun dynamic_graph_manager demo_dynamic_graph_manager
  • Run the dashboard from the robot_properties package of your choice:
    roslaunch robot_properties_quadruped quadruped_dashboard.launch
    or
    roslaunch robot_properties_teststand teststand_dashboard.launch
