How can i use joy node in Gazebo simulator?

edit

Hi all.

I am a beginner to ROS, and just finished building a very simple robot in .urdf format, and loading it on gazebo after some conversions to .sdf etc. Now the bot can be controlled by applying forces in the "force" tab in gazebo.

My question is, can i use the joy node to apply the forces instead of changing values in the "force" tab in gazebo?

Any help would be nice.

Thank you.
