Detailed Description

Joint controller which can be attached to a model with a reference to a single joint. Currently only the first axis of a joint is actuated.

System Parameters

<joint_name> The name of the joint to control. Required parameter. Can also include multiple <joint_name> for identical joints.
<use_force_commands> True to enable the controller implementation using force commands. If this parameter is not set or is false, the controller will use velocity commands internally.
<use_actuator_msg> True to enable the use of actuator message for velocity command. The actuator msg is an array of floats for position, velocity and normalized commands. Relies on <actuator_number> for the index of the velocity actuator and defaults to topic "/actuators" when topic or `subtopic not set.
<actuator_number> used with <use_actuator_msg> to set the index of the velocity actuator.
<topic> Topic to receive commands in. Defaults to /model/<model_name>/joint/<joint_name>/cmd_vel.
<sub_topic> Sub topic to receive commands in. Defaults to "/model/<model_name>/<sub_topic>".
<initial_velocity> Velocity to start with.

No additional parameters are required.

The controller accepts the next optional parameters:

<p_gain> The proportional gain of the PID. The default value is 1.
<i_gain> The integral gain of the PID. The default value is 0.
<d_gain> The derivative gain of the PID. The default value is 0.
<i_max> The integral upper limit of the PID. The default value is 1.
<i_min> The integral lower limit of the PID. The default value is -1.
<cmd_max> Output max value of the PID. The default value is 1000.
<cmd_min> Output min value of the PID. The default value is -1000.
<cmd_offset> Command offset (feed-forward) of the PID. The default value is 0.
