ROS_Controller

Controlling a robot, using ROS, with an Android phone

Overview

This app implements ROS indigo.

This app provides a connection between a robot using ROS and an Android phone. The app establishes a connection over WIFI.

Getting Started

If you have custom messages like me then:

• Create custom message jars
• Put jars to folder
• Change topic names in strings.xml
• Change data types for subscriber located in defineImageViews() in Controller.java
• Change publisher message creation in Publisherr.java and BridgeToPublisher.java
• If needed, change layout.

Current message types

Message examples
The image subscriber uses a default type: CompressedImage.
Note: RosImageView can`t handle anything more than a CompressedImage.

Example

This is an example using a CompressedImage and ImageData subscriber with a /com_cmd publisher. The slider is for controlling speed.
