Overview

Running

Run turtlebot_dashboard with:

rosrun turtlebot_dashboard turtlebot_dashboard

You may have to set your ROS_MASTER_URI environment variable before you start your dashboard:

export ROS_MASTER_URI=http://MY_ROBOT:11311

Dashboard

turtlebot_dashboard/turtlebot_dashboard.png

The main window of the dashboard is composed entirely of status indicators, the idea being that if they are all green the robot should be working fine from a hardware and built-in systems standpoint.

The indicators are broken into following three categories. The further explanation of the state Stale can be found in this QA at answers.ros.org.

Diagnostic

Component	OK	Warn	Error	Stale	Description
Diagnostics					Clicking pops up the robot monitor. The OK/Warn/Error state is determined from the top level of its tree.
Rosout					Clicking pops up rxconsole. The OK/Warn/Error state is determined by the messages received over the last 30 seconds.

Circuit Breakers

The circuit breakers are labeled 1/2/3, correlate to the 3 digital outputs on the iRobot Create base. Each breaker can be in either an enabled or disabled state. The Kinect power enable is attached to digital out 0 and needs to be enabled to power and receive data from the Kinect.

Mode

The robot can only charge in passive mode. The dashboard easily allows the user to change between modes for charging the robot.

Full	Safety	Passive	Stale	Description
				Clicking pops up a menu to change the mode to full, safety, or passive mode:

Battery

The battery is also just an indicator with no way of changing its state. The battery will change its color and % filled based on the amount of battery remaining. It will also show a power-plug symbol if the robot is charging.

Charge >50%	Charge 30-50%	Charge <30%	Charging

Overview

The dashboard is a simple graphical tool that can give you an overview about the status of your robot at a glance. It has its roots in the turtlebot_diagnostics monitoring tool.

Running

First, make sure your TurtleBot is already running (e.g. you have launched minimal.launch from turtlebot_bringup before).

Then launch the dashboard with:

roslaunch turtlebot_dashboard turtlebot_dashboard.launch
