ROS2 Control hardware interface for Hoverboard motors. Implementation in C++ with Boost libraries. All steering and feedback messages are transmitted by serial port communication.
Work is still in progress, we will be adding new features.

- humble
- foxy (tested just a bit, separate branch, more tests on request)

All ROS2 and system dependencies are installable by the rosdep command-line tool. Just run the following command:
rosdep install --from-paths src -y --ignore-srcYou can learn more about the rosdep command line tool here: https://docs.ros.org/en/humble/Tutorials/Intermediate/Rosdep.html
The simplest way to run the whole package is to use the demo launch file. The launch file can be an inspiration for your custom usage of the package.
To use the launch file, just run the following command:
ros2 launch hoverboard_demo_bringup hoverboard.launch.py- https://github.com/Factor-Robotics/odrive_ros2_control

Thank you for your support and inspiration!
The code works well with USB to TTL adapter with a 3.3V voltage level and with a UART1 port on the Jetson Xavier NX Development Kit. The code was tested with ROS2 Humble distribution with a standalone and containerized (Docker) setup.
