A ‘fake’ actuator that allows to move a robot from the keyboard.
This actuator does not require a connection with external data. It simply responds to the keyboard arrows to generate movement instructions for the robot attached.
When parented to a robot, the user can press the arrow keys to modify the linear and angular velocities (V, W) of the robot.
Up forward Down backwards Left turn left Right turn right
You can set these properties in your scripts with <component>.properties(<property1>=..., <property2>=...).
Kind of control to move the parent robot, in [‘Position’, ‘Velocity’, ‘Differential’]
Movement speed of the parent robot, in m/s
No data field documented (see above for possible notes).
This component does not expose any service.
The following example shows how to use this component in a Builder script:
from morse.builder import *
robot = ATRV()
# creates a new instance of the actuator
keyboard = Keyboard()
# place your component at the correct location
keyboard.translate(<x>, <y>, <z>)
keyboard.rotate(<rx>, <ry>, <rz>)
robot.append(%(var)s)
# define one or several communication interface, like 'socket'
keyboard.add_interface(<interface>)
env = Environment('empty')
