How to republish latest joystick input

asked 2014-06-12 10:19:16 -0500

Currently the joy node sends a joystick value on update only. For example if I push the joystick all the way forward I get a single max value of 1. This value is published only once. A new value is only sent when the joystick moves. What I would prefer is for the last joy value to keep being published, thus if I push the joystick to its max limit the value of 1 will continue to be published. Is there something I can add to my joy launch file that will repeat the last received joy message?

You can add

~autorepeat_rate = x

where x is the rate in Hz that the messages will be sent. This will constantly publish 0 is there is no value.

For those like me that are struggling, this is a parameter of pkg joy, add it as written here: joy wiki. Thanks Tony!

How can I add to my program? Where can I add in my program? How can I control ~autorepeat_rate = x ??

It is in the parameters of your joy node
