Control and following of the robot arm

1 Slider Control

Open a command line and run:

mypalletizer 260-M5 version:

# The default serial port name of mypalletizer 260-M5 version is "/dev/ttyUSB0", and the baud rate is 115200. The serial port name of some models is "dev/ttyACM0". If the default serial port name is wrong, you can change the serial port name to "/dev/ttyACM0".
ros2 launch mypalletizer_260 slider_control.launch.py

mypalletizer 260-PI version:

Click the ROS2 Shell icon on the desktop or the corresponding icon in the lower column of the desktop to open the ROS2 environment terminal:

Then run the command:

# The default serial port name of mypalletizer 260-PI version is "/dev/ttyAMA0", and the baud rate is 1000000.
ros2 launch mypalletizer_260_pi slider_control.launch.py

rviz and a slider component will be opened, and you will see the following interface:

Then you can control the model in rviz to make it move by dragging the slider.The real mypalletizer will move with it.

Note: Since the robot arm will move to the current position of the model when the command is input, make sure that the model in rviz does not appear to be worn out before you use the command.

Do not drag the slider quickly after connecting the robot arm to prevent damage to the robot arm.

2 Model Following

In addition to the above controls, we can also let the model move by following the real robot arm. Open a command line and run:

mypalletizer 260-M5 version:

# The default serial port name of mypalletizer 260-M5 version is "/dev/ttyUSB0", and the baud rate is 115200. The serial port name of some models is "dev/ttyACM0". If the default serial port name is wrong, you can change the serial port name to "/dev/ttyACM0".
ros2 launch mypalletizer_260 mycobot_follow.launch.py

mypalletizer 260-PI version:

Click the ROS2 Shell icon on the desktop or the corresponding icon in the lower column of the desktop to open the ROS2 environment terminal:

Then run the command:

# The default serial port name of mypalletizer 260-PI version is "/dev/ttyAMA0", and the baud rate is 1000000
ros2 launch mypalletizer_260_pi mycobot_follow.launch.py

It will open rviz to show the model following effect.

3 GUI control

On the basis of the previous contents, this package also provides a simple GUI control interface. This method is used for interaction between real robot arms. Connect to mycobot.

Open a command line:

mypalletizer 260-M5 version:

# The default serial port name of mypalletizer 260-M5 version is "/dev/ttyUSB0", and the baud rate is 115200. The serial port name of some models is "dev/ttyACM0". If the default serial port name is wrong, you can change the serial port name to "/dev/ttyACM0".
ros2 launch mypalletizer_260 simple_gui.launch.py

mypalletizer 260-PI version:

Click the ROS2 Shell icon on the desktop or the corresponding icon in the lower column of the desktop to open the ROS2 environment terminal:

Then run the command:

# The default serial port name of mypalletizer 260-PI version is "/dev/ttyAMA0", and the baud rate is 1000000.
ros2 launch mypalletizer_260_pi simple_gui.launch.py

Running effect:

4 Keyboard control

Keyboard control is added in mypalletizer_260 package, and real-time Synchronization is performed in rviz. This function depends on pythonApi, so be sure to connect with the real robot arm.

Open a command line and run:

mypalletizer 260-M5 version:

# The default serial port name of mypalletizer 260-M5 version is "/dev/ttyUSB0", and the baud rate is 115200. The serial port name of some models is "dev/ttyACM0". If the default serial port name is wrong, you can change the serial port name to "/dev/ttyACM0".
ros2 launch mypalletizer_260 teleop_keyboard.launch.py

mypalletizer 260-PI version:

Click the ROS2 Shell icon on the desktop or the corresponding icon in the lower column of the desktop to open the ROS2 environment terminal:

Then run the command:

# The default serial port name of mypalletizer 260-PI version is "/dev/ttyAMA0", and the baud rate is 1000000. 
ros2 launch mypalletizer_260 teleop_keyboard.launch.py

Running effect is as follows:

mypalletizer information will be output in the command line as follows:
