Hi Sid, is the joy_node available for a wireless xbox controller on ros2 yet? I want to swap it out for the keyboard controller and have a play in the sim. Just bookmarked the ros2 tutorials, they look great!
You're getting ahead of me 😀 There's a bit of setup to do, but if you want to dig in you can take a look at a video for LinuxFestNorthwest, see ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-3HuV1M1NMB8.html, starting at about 15:50. That's using a wired XBox 360 controller--didn't have the heart to steal my son's wireless controller but it should work the same.
@@UbuntuRobotics haha sorry. I wanted to get my rover moving manually first before moving on to sensors. I want to do it in bite sized goals so I don't burn out or lose interest. I think it would be a massive milestone just to see it move.
Virtualization comes in many flavorx, LXD being one of them. Lxd lives somewhere between docker and kvm on the virtualization continuum: - Like docker they're quick to get up and running, you just pull down a base image. - Also like docker and unlike LXD they're lightweight and leverage the underlying kernel. - Like docker you can only run a linux LXD machine on a linux machine. - Unlike docker, the lxd images come pre-loaded with more of the software utilities you'd expect from a base Ubuntu image (e.g., vim). - Like kvm machines, lxd images are meant to persist over time, while docker containers are meant to be ephemeral and rebuilt regularly. These attributes makes it fit well with our robotics use case. Hope this helps a bit.
