An implementation using Player client API.

This driver wraps up a Player client. It requires a running Player server. The driver gets data from that server and converts it to the format specified by Robot2d interface. More information on Player/Stage.

Dependancies

• Player. Requires that Player/Stage v.>=2.0 are installed and running. As Player itself, this driver is Linux only. See our notes on installing Player in platform-dependent installation page, e.g. orca_doc_installdebian_player.

Extra configuration

• PlayerClient.Host (string)
  • The host that Player (or Stage) is running on
  • Default: "localhost"
• PlayerClient.Port (int)
  • The port that PLayer (or Stage) is running on
  • Constraints: >0
  • Default: 6665
• PlayerClient.UsePlayerTimestamp (int)
  • Whether to use the timestamp Player reports
  • If 0, the timestamp is set by the arrival time of the data
  • Default: 0

Naturally, both real hardware and Stage simulator are supported. Support is limited to what Player supports which at the time of writing is the original RMP with CAN I/O using Peak systems driver and USB from FTDI.
