NAME

       robot-playerjoy - console-based client for teleoperation

SYNOPSIS

       robot-playerjoy [options] <host:port> [<host:port>]

DESCRIPTION

       robot-playerjoy   is  a  console-based  client  that  provides  planar,
       differential-drive teleoperation of position2d and position3d  devices.
       In  other  words,  robot-playerjoy  allows  you  to manually drive your
       (physical or simulated) robot  around.  robot-playerjoy  uses  velocity
       control,  and  so  will  only  work when the underlying driver supports
       velocity control (most drivers do).

OPTIONS

       -v     verbose mode. Print the Player device state on stdout.

       -3d    connect to position3d interface (instead of position).

       -c     continuously send commands.

       -n     dont send commands or enable motors (for debugging).

       -k     use keyboard control (instead of joystick device).

       -p     print out speeds on the console.

       -udp   use UDP instead of TCP (deprecated, currently disabled).

       -speed speed
              maximum linear speed in meter per second (default: 0.5).

       -turnspeed speed
              maximum angular speed in degrees per second (default: 60).

       -dev device
              joystick device file the  joystick  is  connected  to  (default:
              /dev/js0).
