I want to control my 6DoF Robot Arm, the xArm 1S from HIWonder to ROS2. I’m going to use MicroROS on a Raspberry PI Pico to interface to the arm. I will control the arm in this video at the joint level and use the ROS2 message, JointJog. Follow along and learn about these arms, the servos they use and how to control them through ROS2 in this video.
Whether you are new to robotics or an old hand, watch along as I demonstrate how easy it is to step through the Robot software-building process with ROS2 and MicroROS. In this video I control the Robot using the JointJog messages, sending the angle for each Servo to the Robot.
