How to run openrr_apps_velocity_sender

Sample robot

• Launch urdf-viz.

urdf-viz ./openrr-planner/sample.urdf &

• Launch openrr_apps_velocity_sender.

openrr_apps_velocity_sender \

Environmental Variables

If you set export OPENRR_APPS_ROBOT_CONFIG_PATH=some_path_to_config.toml, you can skip --config-path. If you give --config-path explicitly, the env var is ignored.

• Run for sample urdf with env var

export OPENRR_APPS_ROBOT_CONFIG_PATH=$(pwd)/openrr-apps/config/sample_robot_client_config_for_urdf_viz.toml
openrr_apps_joint_position_sender

Do not forget to unset OPENRR_APPS_ROBOT_CONFIG_PATH before try other settings

Overwrite configuration at startup

By using --config flag, you can overwrite the configuration at startup.

For example, to replace the urdf path:

openrr_apps_robot_command \
  --config-path=./openrr-apps/config/sample_robot_client_config_for_urdf_viz.toml \
  --config='openrr_clients_config.urdf_path="path/to/urdf"' \
  load_commands ./openrr-apps/command/sample_cmd_urdf_viz.txt

In openrr_apps_robot_teleop, there are two flags: --robot-config to overwrite robot config and --teleop-config to overwrite teleop config.

For example, to run openrr_apps_robot_teleop with arci-gamepad-keyboard:

openrr_apps_robot_teleop \
  --config-path=./openrr-apps/config/sample_teleop_config_urdf_viz.toml \
  --teleop-config='gamepad="Keyboard"'

To disable joint_position_limiter:

openrr_apps_robot_teleop \
  --config-path=./openrr-apps/config/sample_teleop_config_urdf_viz.toml \
  --robot-config='urdf_viz_clients_configs[0].wrap_with_joint_position_limiter=false'

To overwrite multiple configs, separate the scripts with a semicolon or a newline. For example:

# semicolon-separated
openrr_apps_robot_teleop \
  --config-path=./openrr-apps/config/sample_teleop_config_urdf_viz.toml \
  --robot-config='urdf_viz_clients_configs[0].wrap_with_joint_position_limiter=false;openrr_clients_config.urdf_path="path/to/urdf"'

# newline-separated
{
  echo 'urdf_viz_clients_configs[0].wrap_with_joint_position_limiter=false'
  echo 'openrr_clients_config.urdf_path="path/to/urdf"'
} > overwrite.txt
openrr_apps_robot_teleop \
  --config-path=./openrr-apps/config/sample_teleop_config_urdf_viz.toml \
  --robot-config="$(cat ./overwrite.txt)"

Schemas for config files

The schema directory contains the JSON schemas for the config files used by openrr, and when combined with an extension of the editor that supports completion using the JSON schema, completion can be enabled.

Visual Studio Code

In VS Code, you can enable completion and validation by installing the Even Better TOML extension and using the evenBetterToml.schema.associations configuration object in settings.json.

For example:

{
  "evenBetterToml.schema.associations": {
    ".*robot_client_config.*\\.toml": "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/openrr/openrr/main/openrr-apps/schema/robot_config.json",
    ".*teleop_config.*\\.toml": "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/openrr/openrr/main/openrr-apps/schema/robot_teleop_config.json",
  },
}
