A Python client example is included to
illustrate how a client might interact with the Force Dimension node. The
client is designed to be as simple as possible: it simply prints the current
3D position of the robot end-effector to the ROS log, each time it receives a
message on the position topic (default: feedback/position).
In order to make it easier to run the example, a launch file has been provided. Once the ROS2 workspace has been built, the example can be started with the following command:
ros2 launch force_dimension example.launch.py
NOTE: At present, it is necessary that a Force Dimension robot is available to the Force Dimension node at launch. Otherwise, the node will fail.
