Excellent, so the best place to start is with the Pioneer2DX model. The default ogre.world file contains this model.
In order to make this model move a proper interface and controller must be assigned. An interface defines what type of data is consumed and generated, and a controller defines how the data is processed. For instance, a position2d interface will accept velocity commands, and produce odometry data. A pioneer2dx position controller should simulate the actuation found on a pioneer2dx. The purpose behind breaking out this functionality to is provide more resuability, and allow for quick assembly of models. With that said, the pioneer2dx position controller needs to be written. It is currently stubbed out in gazebo/server/controllers/position2d/pioneer2dx. You should be able to rip the control code from a previous version of gazebo. Once the code is in place make sure the controller and interface are loaded properly, and test using the player viewer. Hopefully this is an easy first step. Let me know if you want to do this, or if you have other ideas, suggestions, etc. -nate On 3/7/07, Paul Benjamin <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Both. > > > On Mar 7, 2007, at 8:50 AM, > [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > > > Message: 4 > > Date: Wed, 7 Mar 2007 08:34:21 -0500 > > From: "Nate Koenig" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > > Subject: Re: [PlayerStage-Gazebo] Playerstage-gazebo Digest, Vol 10, > > Issue 2 > > To: "Gazebo developers" > <[email protected]> > > Message-ID: > > <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > > Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowed > > > > > Hi Paul, > > > > > So if I read your message correctly, you are interested in improving > > the robot models to allow proper motor control?
