clearpath_bt_joy

Monitors a Bluetooth joystick’s link quality and cuts off its input if the link degrades or disappears.

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.

How it works

bt_joy_cutoff_node reads raw HID reports from the controller’s /dev/hidrawN node directly (resolved from the joy_device parameter), rather than listening on /joy. This catches the case where joy_linux keeps republishing the last-received values after the BT link drops.

clearpath_bt_joy

Monitors a Bluetooth joystick’s link quality and cuts off its input if the link degrades or disappears.

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.

How it works

bt_joy_cutoff_node reads raw HID reports from the controller’s /dev/hidrawN node directly (resolved from the joy_device parameter), rather than listening on /joy. This catches the case where joy_linux keeps republishing the last-received values after the BT link drops.

clearpath_bt_joy

Monitors a Bluetooth joystick’s link quality and cuts off its input if the link degrades or disappears.

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.

How it works

bt_joy_cutoff_node reads raw HID reports from the controller’s /dev/hidrawN node directly (resolved from the joy_device parameter), rather than listening on /joy. This catches the case where joy_linux keeps republishing the last-received values after the BT link drops.

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.

How it works

bt_joy_cutoff_node reads raw HID reports from the controller’s /dev/hidrawN node directly (resolved from the joy_device parameter), rather than listening on /joy. This catches the case where joy_linux keeps republishing the last-received values after the BT link drops.
