Is there a ROS wrapper for Pololu SMC-04B servomotor?
Hello all,
I'm putting a robot together (from scratch) and I've decided to make use of ROS's programming tools because it's excellent for mixing and matching several different sensors that can't necessarily be bought together from any robotics companies. My problem is that I have an excellent base with servomotor wheels already installed, but I can't find a ROS driver for the chip (Pololu SMC-04B). I'm even having trouble finding any documentation at all for these chips online.
So I need some advice:
Does a wrapper for Pololu chips exist in ROS?
Is it possible for me to write my own driver, say in Python, or perhaps C++, by modifying driver code from some other robotic navigation system. For example, could I find the navigation code for an iRobot Create and modify it somehow for my Pololu chips? (I have no idea how quite to do this, just general ideas, so pointers would be appreciated).
If none of the above are feasible for a beginner like me, would it just be better to invest in something like an ArbotiX RoboController and just use the servomotor capabilities?
Thanks, and if I ought to explain anything more clearly, please let me know. -Khiya
