Detailed Description

class RemoteControllerNode::RemoteControllerNode;

Remote controller ROS node class. Receives from a joystick (using pygame) the desired controls for
the inner-loops and publishes these periodically (at a pre-defined frequency) to the inner-loops of the
vehicle

Public Functions Documentation

function init

def __init__(
    self self
)

Class constructor. Initializes the ros node, loads the parameters from the ros parameter server, creates the inner-loops
publishers and initializes the timer that publishes the desired inputs to the inner-loops

function timerCallback

def timerCallback(
    self self,
    event event
)

Callback used to publish to the inner-loops the desired control inputs
:param event: A timer event - unused but required by the ROS API

function initializeTimer

def initializeTimer(
    self self
)

Method that starts the system timer that periodically calls a callback

function initializeSubscribers

def initializeSubscribers(
    self self
)

Method that initializes the ROS subscribers (to receive the current state of the AUV)

function initializePublishers

def initializePublishers(
    self self
)

Method that initializes the ROS publishers (to publish the references for the inner-loops)

function initializeJoystick

def initializeJoystick(
    self self
)

Method that initializes the joystick driver (using pygame)

function state_callback

def state_callback(
    self self,
    msg msg
)

Callback that is called when a message with the current state of the AUV is received.
Currently only the yaw orientation is saved (used to switch between yaw and yaw-rate controllers)
:param msg: NavigationStatus message
