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     don't 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).
