Arbotix ROS
James Ronald
For lack of an Arbotix controller I have ported Freg's Arbotix code to
an Arduino Mega 1280. There are just a few minor changes in regard to
the external interrupt pins for the quadrature encoders. I also
rearranged many of the pins so that the wiring is not a complete rats
nest (still too many wires - thus the ArbotiX+ will be a good value).
I have tested that the PWM and quadrature inputs are working via
Arduino code and the I am now at a point were I can start testing the
setup with ROS. I have looked though Freg's ROS code, Arbotix ROS
tutorials as well as Patrick's code from his SVN repository. I'm
currently looking for a very simple working ROS Arbotix example
(initializes the Abotix parameters and send twist commands) or
suggested starting point that I can use to debug/verify my
configuration.
Best regards

Are you using an FTDI TTL-232R cable to connect your ArbotiX2 (ATMEGA
644) controller to your computer hardware?
