1.2.0 - update

In this release, the communication strategy is changed.

• joints are updated continuously every 10ms making more predictable by firmware side
• timeout is now disabled by default via disable_timeout flag parameter
• integration time can be forced by enabling force_delta_t parameter and setting delta_t parameter
• imu can also be compensated in gain and not only on offsets

If you are using the robotic kit, you need firmware 1.2.0

First official release

Merge pull request #8 from gbr1/dev

First official release

0.4.0 RC4 - battery percentage

added battery percentage

0.3.0 RC3

Added:

• docs
• skid steering
• serial port speed

Now the package is ready for the final release.

RC2 - communication fixs and differential robot

In this Release Candidate, communication is improved with checking if commands are executed.
This fix 2 abnormal behaviours:

• sometimes robot doesn't stop;
• sometimes doesn't set wheels speed correctly

A major update was done by improving the FIKmodel library. Now it is possible to use with same interfaces also differential drive robots (NOTE: you still must set 4 joints but only firsts 2 are used)

0.1.0 RC1

Merge pull request #3 from gbr1/devel

0.1.0-rc1

battery state and some parameters

Merge pull request #2 from gbr1/devel

added some parameters and battery state publisher

added imu and initial_pose

Now IMU is now working as raw data reading, linear acceleration and angular velocities are provided.
initial_pose allows to repose the robot

NOTE: parameters to setup IMU (e.g. scales) are not exposed on ROS2, yet.
