Create Sim Model Battery Values? #117

Closed slowrunner closed 3 years ago

slowrunner commented 3 years ago

My non-Create robot worries a lot about his battery voltage and charging state both on and off his ancient iRobot dock.

The Create3 sim /battery_state topic is reporting 0v, 0 current, and 0 capacity.

Any chance the sim could start with a full battery and run it down at the Create3 moving load draw?

This is on our to-do list, I don't have a timeline yet. We will link the PR to this ticket when we get to it.
