keystroke_listen Node

Run with ros2 run keystroke kesytroke_listen

Parameters:

  • exit_on_esc (boolean, default True): Whether the escape key should cause this node to exit

Published Topics:

  • /glyphkey_pressed (String) - Pressing a letter/number/symbol key
  • /key_pressed (UInt32) - Pressing spacebar, ctrl, F1, etc.

arrows_to_twist Node

Run with ros2 run keystroke_arrows_to_twist

Parameters:

  • publish_period (float): How often to publish the speed
  • linear_scale (float): How much to increase/decrease speed based on up/down arrows
  • angular_scale (float): How much to increase/decrease angular speed based on left/right arrows

Subscribed topics:

  • /key_pressed (Uint32) - Keypresses to translate to speed commands

Published topics:

  • /cmd_vel (Twist) - Velocity (linear and angular) commands
