create user documentation in ROS wiki

[floweisshardt]

we should document

• [x] architecture (linking to ros_control)
• [x] list controller which are tested with ros_canopen
• [x] list namespaces
• [x] list services (init, recover, halt, shutdown)
• [ ] list topic and action interfaces (per controller)
• [ ] add example yaml and launch files (maybe link to schunk_robots)
• [ ] show the user how to move the components (prepare can, roslaunch, init, move with rostopic pub and rqt plugin)

please document in http://wiki.ros.org/ros_canopen

• Add tutorials on CAN and CANopen usage

what is the current status ? Can I find the documentation anywhere?

[mathias-luedtke]

There is some documentation in the ROS Wiki: http://wiki.ros.org/ros_canopen (and package sub pages).

Need Help...! I'm new to ROS and I want to control motors by using DZCANTE-020L080 digital servo drive. This driver has CANopen interface but I'm unable to understand that how I can communicate with ROS by using this ros_canopen package.

Please share any helping document or video example/lecture to understand the ros_canopen. thanks

@anees468: This issue tracker is not a support forum. There is some documentation in the wiki. In addition you can get help via ROS answers, please check the existing questions and answers as well.

Just one item is missing:

show the user how to move the components (prepare can, roslaunch, init, move with rostopic pub and rqt plugin)
