How to control steppers with Rviz/Moveit and Arduino?
Hello, Im new to ROS and trying to control an opensource robot arm (https://github.com/b-adkins/thor_arm_...).
I can control all the movements connecting each stepper with arduino in the irl robot. I have been able to open my urdf in Rviz, and run a small python script to control its movement. This took me a lot of time.
I want to be able to create movement sequences and then send it to the arduino make the movement.
I found several tutorials, but they feel incomplete, for example, Idk how creating the myrobot_planning_execution.launch is useful in this situation from this tutorial. ( https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/ros-mo... ). This other one is called "ROS & Arduino - Control Stepper motors" ( https://github.com/karadalex/ros_step... ) but idk how to unite it to moveit.
Thank you in advantage.
My info is: ROS melodic kernel: 5.3.0-40-generic Distributor ID: Ubuntu Description: Ubuntu 18.04.4 LTS Release: 18.04 Codename: bionic
I have the same concern, have you managed to create that movement?
