The snap offers the possibility to teleoperate the robot from a joystick with: snap start ros2-teleop.joy This app launches both the gamepad driver as well as the joy teleop node. Parameters for the joystick application are: * joy-vel (string, default: 'joy\_vel') * joy-dev (string, default: 'dev/input/js0') * joy-config (string, default: '') * config-filepath (string, default: '') * publish-stamped-twist (bool, default: false) At least one between the joy-config and the config-filepath parameters must be set for the application to run. In case both joy-config and config-filepath are set, the configuration file will take precedence. The upstream package offers some default joystick configurations. Those can be set up with the joy-config parameter as follows: snap set ros2-teleop joy-config="ps3" In alternative, a custom configuration file can be used. The file can be provided by means of a URL. In such case, the snap will download the file and place it in `$SNAP_COMMON/config/joy_teleop.config.yaml`. To configure the config-filepath to a URL: snap set ros2-teleop config-filepath="" Note: the URL must be reachable by the snap. When using a URL, the configuration file will be downloaded everytime the joy app is launched. Therefore a configuration update upstream will be applied with the application relaunch. Otherwise to configure the config-filepath to a local configuration file: snap set ros2-teleop config-filepath="/var/snap/ros2-teleop/common/config/joy\_teleop.config.yaml" The local configuration should be at a path accessible to the snap such as $SNAP\_COMMON. The robot can also be teleoperated from a keyboard (e.g. SSH) by launching the application with: ros2-teleop.key Optional parameters for the keyboard application are: key-vel (string, default: 'key\_vel') The snap makes use of a topic multiplexer to switch from one source to another. Its input topic can be selected as, ros2-teleop.mux-select The topics names can also be configured with snap parameters: * cmd-vel (string, default: "cmd\_vel") * nav-vel (string, default: "nav\_vel") * web-vel (string, defautl: "web\_vel") Note that when launching the joy or key app, the appropriate topic is automatically selected. --- ## Install ros2-teleop on your Linux distribution Choose your Linux distribution to get detailed installation instructions.
