Web control of ROS turtlesim

The installation of ROS Hydro (or newer distro) is required. You will also need to make sure turtlesim and ROSbridge installed.

Clone this repo to your catkin workspace, and run catkin_make.

Then run roslaunch turtleweb turtleweb.launch and go to http://hostname:8000/turtleweb.

Currently, the following functions are complete:

• Move 1 step
• Move constantly and stop
• Change pen color, incl. turn pen on or off
• Change background color

You can set the values (linear-velocity and angular-velocity for moving, RGB values for changing background color, RGB values and width for changing pen color and pen switch) and hit the buttons to apply the command. Then the status of turtlesim will be shown above synchronously.

You can build a Docker container image of turtleweb by using dockerfile. Currently, you must go into the container and run roslaunch manually.

roslibjs by RobotWebTools is used in this repository.
