FT-300S LCM Driver

Installation

Build:

bazel build //...

Add user to dialout group (replace username with the actual username). NOTE: Need to reboot for the changes to take effect.

sudo usermod -a -G dialout username

Make sure that the sensor is visible. A new device named ttyUSBx should be present in /dev, which can be verified with the following command.

ls -l /dev | grep ttyUSB

Additional documentation can be downloaded from here by selecting FT 3000-S Force Torque Sensor -> Other brands.

Running the driver

Sensor readings are published on FT300S_SENSOR_DATA and are of type ft_reading_t (see lcmtypes).

./bazel-bin/src/ft_300s_driver

NOTE: It is normal for Input/output error to be displayed for the first few seconds. A permission error means that the user has not been added to the dialout group or that the computer has not been rebooted afterwards.
