Veddar VESC Interface

Vesc is a new repository that was forked to provide a local instance for developing minor changes required for the C1T system. The only update included in this release is negating the speed value sent to the vesc due to the motors being installed in the opposite direction.

Packages to interface with Veddar VESC motor controllers. See https://vesc-project.com/ for details

This is a ROS2 implementation of the ROS1 driver using the new serial driver located in transport drivers.

How to test

  1. Clone this repository and transport drivers into src.
  2. rosdep update && rosdep install --from-paths src -i -y
  3. Plug in the VESC with a USB cable.
  4. Modify vesc/vesc_driver/params/vesc_config.yaml to reflect any changes.
  5. Build the packages colcon build
  6. ros2 launch vesc_driver vesc_driver_node.launch.py
  7. If prompted "permission denied" on the serial port: sudo chmod 777 /dev/ttyACM0
