ROS driver without encoder
Posted: Mon Apr 23, 2018 5:54 am
Hello,
I'm trying to use the ROS driver for a 2x120A Roboclaw, I downloaded this from: http://forums.ionmc.com/viewtopic.php?f ... 8&start=10 because on the forums I could see that the github page is no longer supported.
I don't have suitable encoders for my motors, however I would like to interface the roboclaw through ROS. My question is the following: is it possible to run the ROS node without having encoder feedback? i.e. is it possible to run the node similar to how one would control the motor in analog mode?
Cheers!
