Joystick Controller Teleoperation
The remote control is used to operate the robot's torso, chassis, and emergency stop.
Note: Ensure that all switches (SWA/SWB/SWC/SWD) are in the top position before you do any actions. This will place the machine in a stop state, preventing the robot from operating.
The following table shows how to switch SWA/SWB/SWC/SWD to different positions in different functions.
Before you use the joystick controller to control the robot, you must start CAN driver and other programs. For detailed instructions, please refer to the sections 4.3,4.4, 4.5 in Unbox and Startup Guide. After that, you can move each switch to a specified position and control the robot by the following steps.
