I robot create 2 driver installation confusion Installed driver for Irobot Create 2 from here. I am a little stuck though. I was expecting a GUI or a place to input commands and not really sure what to do next. https://github.com/MirkoFerrati/irobo...

I run

rosrun irobotcreate2 irobotcreate2

and get:

Sending OPCode: � Sending OPCode: � Sending OPCode: � Sending OPCode: �

The tutorial says:

rosrun irobotcreate2 irobotcreate2

to run the basic software and have access to the following topics:

/battery /bumper /buttons /cliff /cmd_vel /digit_leds /ir_bumper /ir_character /leds /mode /odom /play_song /rosout /rosout_agg /song /tf /wheel_drop you can read sensors (/battery, /buttons, /bumper, ...) and send commands (/cmd_vel, ...).

No idea what to do with these commands without a UI. Any help would be much obliged. First time ROS user..

While I agree that the package seems to be not documented enough, it does say you can send velocity commands by /cmd_vel. I suggest you go through this generic tutorial once again, and replace the topic name appropriately to work with Create2.
