Keyboard control in sim? What hardware/software gamepad to use with sim? #15

Closed stevenjj closed 5 years ago

stevenjj commented 5 years ago

Hello! I am able to simulate the robots in sim after running

./sim/sim

and using one of the controllers eg:

./user/WBC_Controller/wbc_ctrl m s

I can get the mini cheetah to the prone position after turning off the use_rc boolean, and it immediately performs a backflip, which is quite neat.

However, I can't get the robot to stand up/walk around. It seems like having the gamepad controls is necessary. Is there a keyboard based control? If not, what is the hardware used for sending commands?

Thanks!

The current version does not support wbc_ctrl. Please use 'mit_ctrl.' We will remove WBC_Controller in the next update. For the keyboard based control, we do not support the keyboard based control unfortunately. You can use xbox controller.
