Interbotix Tutorials: X-Series Arms | Using a Joystick to Control X-Series Arms
This tutorial will show you how to use a joystick controller with your X-Series arms. We first go over how to connect a Sony PS4 controller using a micro-USB to USB cable and then over Bluetooth. We then review the xsarm_joy package which provides a convenient interface for controlling X-Series arms using joystick commands. Next, we go over the xsarm_dual_joy package. This package builds on the xsarm_joy and xsarm_dual packages to allow for control of multiple robots using a single joystick controller.
After watching this tutorial, you should:
-Know how to pair a controller with your computer (wired/Bluetooth)
-Know how the xsarm_joy package works and how you can use it to control any X-Series arm
-Know how the xsarm_dual_joy package works and how you can use it to control multiple X-Series arms
-Understand how the xsarm_dual_joy package doesn’t have a single line of code written for it and is instead a collection of launch and configuration files. It is a good example of how you can use lower-level packages to build more complex features
