Duckieshock 4

Simple ROS node that connects PS4 controller (Sony Dualshock 4) to a duckiebot to control it remotely.

Getting started

Prerequisites

For this project to work you need to install the following dependencies:

• Python 2 or 3.6
  • pyglet
• ROS

Running the node

1. Start roscore Docker container on duckiebot
   • should be started automatically: duckietown/duckiebot-interface:master19
2. Start joystick demo on duckiebot
   • dts duckiebot demo --demo_name joystick --duckiebot_name <duckiebot name>
   • ... or through Portainer interface
3. export ROS_MASTER_URI=http://<duckie IP>:11311
4. export ROS_IP=<computer IP>
5. Plug in PS4 controller with USB
6. python control.py duckie_hostname
   • Should work with Python 3.6 as well, 3.7 is broken for now (pyglet doesn't fully support 3.7 at time of creation)
