er1 [Drivers] The er1 driver provides position control of the Evolution Robotics' ER1 and ERSDK robots. This driver is new and not thoroughly tested. The odometry cannot be trusted to give accurate readings. You will need a kernel driver to allow the serial port to be seen. This driver, and news about the player driver can be found here. Todo: Implement IR and power interfaces. NOT DOING: I don't have a gripper, if someone has code for a gripper, by all means contribute it. It would be welcome to the mix. Compile-time dependencies <asm/ioctls.h> Provides position Requires none Supported configuration requests PLAYER_POSITION_GET_GEOM_REQ PLAYER_POSITION_MOTOR_POWER_REQ Configuration file options port (string) Default: "/dev/usb/ttyUSB0" Serial port used to communicate with the robot. axle (length) Default: 0.38 m The distance between the motorized wheels motor_dir (integer) Default: 1 Direction of the motors; should be 1 or -1. If the left motor is plugged in to the motor 1 port on the RCM, put -1 here instead debug (integer) Default: 0 Should the driver print out debug messages? Example driver ( name "er1" provides ["position:0"] ) Authors David Feil-Seifer
