Print sensor data to the console.

Synopsis

playerprint prints out sensor data to the console. It is useful mainly for verifying that a device is working during the setup or debugging process. If you want to visualize data, try playerv. If you want to log data to a file, try the writelog driver.

Usage

playerprint is installed alongside player in $prefix/bin, so if player is in your PATH, then playerprint should also be. Command-line usage is:

$ playerprint [-r <rate>] [-h <host>] [-p <port>] [-i <index>] <device>

Where the options are:

• -h <host>: connect to Player on this host (default: localhost)
• -p <port>: connect to Player on this TCP port (default: 6665)
• -r <rate>: request data update at <rate> in Hz (default: 10Hz)
• -i <index>: the index of the device (default: 0)

For example:

  $ playerprint -p 7000 laser
