clearpath_bt_joy

Monitors a bluetooth joy controller’s link quality and cuts it off if the signal strength drops below a given threshold.

This provides a safety mechanism by which controllers that go out-of-range and latch their last-received input will not force the robot into an uncontrollable state.

2.1.0 (2025-01-31)

2.0.3 (2025-01-21)

• Bypass bluetooth link quality check (#151)
  • Comment-out the bluetooth cutoff node, the mux, and the remap from the joy_teleop to bypass the link quality check
  • Add missing newlines to joy teleop config files
  • Change the link quality check to be exclusive instead of inclusive
• Contributors: Chris Iverach-Brereton

2.0.2 (2025-01-20)

• Add additional logging, replace rate.sleep() with time.sleep(); on boot as part of a systemd job rate.sleep() is never exiting (#148)
• Contributors: Chris Iverach-Brereton

2.0.1 (2025-01-17)

• Explicitly use the default qos profile for the quality & cutoff pubs. Reduce the publish rate from 10Hz to 5Hz (on A300-000006 the 10Hz rate was missing deadlines, resulting in a deadlocked controller)
• Contributors: Chris Iverach-Brereton

2.0.0 (2025-01-16)

• Improve joy telep support (#131)
  • Update description, add bluez dependency
  • Add the quality_cutoff parameter to all of the PS4 configuration files
  • Update the launch file to start the new cutoff node and additional twist_mux
  • Add udev rules for various controllers
  • Add dependency on the new bt cutoff package
  • Add xbox controller parameters for all platforms
  • Fix the PS4/5 axis ordering; the left stick shows up as axis 3/4, with the l/r analogue triggers being 2 & 5. Update omni control configurations accordingly
  • Add PS5 udev rules, config files
  • Add a timeout to the quality lock so we lock out the controller if the quality-checker node crashes
  • Set the respawn flag for the BT cutoff node and the joy_linux node
  • Add additional logging when blocking for services & IPC. Since we've added a timeout to the lock, publish fake quality data when using wired controllers. Log when this happens
