neo_relayboard_v2¶
Summary¶
The neo_relayboard_v2 package provides a means to communicate with the physical RelayBoardV2 installed in all mobile platforms.
The relayboard_v2_node publishes status information regarding the mobile platform such as battery voltage, charging current and emergency stop status. Moreover it provides services to control the charging process, the on-demand relays as well as the LCD display.
The drive motors are also connected to the RelayBoardV2 (except MPO-700), hence the drive control commands and drive signals are sent and received over the relayboard_v2_node as well.
relayboard_v2_node¶
Publishes:
- /relayboard_v2/state
- /relayboard_v2/battery_state
- /relayboard_v2/emergency_stop_state
- /drives/joint_states (except MPO-700)
- /ioboard/data (with IOBoard only)
- /usboard/measurements (with USBoard only)
- /usboard/sensor (with USBoard only)
Subscribes:
- /drives/joint_trajectory (except MPO-700)
Services:
- /relayboard_v2/set_LCD_msg <message>
- Sets the first line on the LCD display for the next 30 seconds.
- /relayboard_v2/set_relay <id (0 to 3)> <true/false>
- Controls the 4 on-demand relays.
- /relayboard_v2/start_charging
- Starts charging process (when connected to automatic charging station)
- /relayboard_v2/stop_charging
- Stops the charging process (when connected to automatic charging station)
- /ioboard/set_digital_output <id (0 to 15)> <true/false>
- Controls the 16 digital outputs, when IOBoard is connected.
