Joystick Tutorials need updated for migration of Joy message to sensor_msgs (ros-pkg ticket #5306) #1

Open jbohren opened 12 years ago

I've seen at least two questions on ROS Answers regarding issues with following the joystick tutorials and having MD5SUM mismatches because the tutorials (and code that is automatically being displayed on the wiki) refer to joy::Joy, which was moved to sensor_msgs::Joy.

Example question on ROS Answers: http://answers.ros.org/question/3353/learning_joy

The joystick driver tutorials (http://www.ros.org/wiki/joystick_drivers_tutorials) need to be updated to reflect the migration of joy::Joy to sensor_msgs::Joy, since the joy_node has been updated to publish sensor_msgs::Joy and not joy::Joy.

Suffers from this 'bug'

[kwc] The p2os tutorial is unsupported -- its not part of joystick drivers.

Please contact the p2os maintainers if you want that updated

[dereck] I didn't refresh the page to notice KWC's comment. My apologies.

To anyone else that lands here, those files contain the necessary changes. I was able to drive my Pioneer around the lab with a ps3 controller.
