Am i just missing something? I can't seem to add a regular comment. I was trying to thank you both for the ideas but can't seem to even find a comment button other then right here. What gives?

Am i just missing something?

Thanks

The Joystick is not what confuses me. I know the ubuntu joystick library and so on.

I am curious of ROS has a "stack" i think its called that handles RS232 Input and out without me having to write an entire C++ or C program

Hello

I am very very very new to ROS so i apologize if this is a dumb question.

I have several 48 Volt DC brushless servo motors for a large scale robotics project. They take in 8 bit ascii command from an rs 232.

I have done some searching, but i was curious if anyone has seen any stack in ROS that would handle some input output on rs232 so i could read and write some commands to my motors. i.e read some joystick code in and output certain ascii commands based on joystick reads. Generic Joystick values coming from say the ubuntu joystick library

The motors have a proprietary program from the manufacture but it is terrible. We are using a linux system for the vehicle and i was curious if ROS has some solutions for us. As i said i apologize if this is not a correct post.

Thanks
