Fix Servo tutorials for post-GSoC 2023 API changes - #1086
Conversation
- Fix getNextJointState() signature to include robot_state parameter - Add robot_state initialization after Servo construction - Add trajectory_publisher declaration and #include so example compiles - Add using namespace moveit_servo to Publishing the Output block - Fix JointJogCommand field: joint_names -> names (matches datatypes.hpp) - Fix panda_link7 -> panda_joint7 (was referencing link, not joint) - Fix TwistCommand syntax error (missing closing brace) - Update TwistCommand values to match demo code - Add sliding window and trajectory publishing pattern - Add getStatusMessage() to status section - Add active_subgroup parameter documentation - Add proper RST sub-heading underlines for command type sections - Fix servo_example.launch.py -> demo_ros_api.launch.py display text - Fix typo: Jacobain -> Jacobian - Add trailing period to servo_parameters.yaml sentence - Remove stale "This will be updated soon" note - Fix missing space between sentences in Design overview Addresses moveit#996 Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
The previous guide referenced JoyToServoPub, servo_example.launch.py, and joystick_servo_example.cpp — all removed during the GSoC 2023 Servo refactoring. Replace with: - Keyboard teleoperation section using built-in servo_keyboard_input - Key mapping table for all supported controls - Gamepad section showing how to use ROS API topics with joy node - Minimal Python translator example for gamepad-to-Servo bridge - Explicit switch_command_type step so Twist commands are processed - Scaling factors on gamepad axes (dimensionless [-1,1] to m/s, rad/s) - Note that ~/ topic names are node-relative - Note that xbox controller image shows old JoyToServoPub layout - All three command topics listed (twist, joint jog, pose) - Explanation of how ServoNode processes commands from any input source Addresses moveit#996 Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughThe PR updates the realtime Servo tutorial for the current C++ API and trajectory output flow.

Seed the rolling window with the current state.
composeTrajectoryMessage() requires three states but publishes only the first two. With an empty deque, the first published trajectory starts with a predicted state instead of the current state. Initialize the deque with servo.getCurrentRobotState(true) before the control loop.

Handle HALT_FOR_COLLISION before publishing.
When status == StatusCode::HALT_FOR_COLLISION, exclude next_joint_state from the rolling window. Servo::getNextJointState() returns zero-initialized positions on this path, and composeTrajectoryMessage() copies those positions into the trajectory. This branch can therefore publish zero joint positions. Re-seed the rolling window with the current state before resuming.

Docutils reStructuredText enumerated lists continuation block indentation list item body code-block directive
💡 Result:
In reStructuredText, the body of an enumerated or bullet list item must be indented relative to the marker [1][2]. The level of indentation is determined by the horizontal position of the first line of text following the marker [1][3]. To include a code-block or literal block within a list item, you must indent the directive and its content further than the current list item body [4][5]. Key points for managing indentation and continuation blocks: 1. Consistency: All content belonging to a list item (paragraphs, code-blocks, nested lists) must be indented at least as far as the first line of the list item body [1][5]. 2. Code-block directives: To include a code-block, indent the directive (e.g.,.. code-block:: python) and its content relative to the parent list item [6][5]. 3. Literal blocks: Using the double-colon (::) syntax, ensure the literal block content is indented deeper than the surrounding list item text [7][4]. 4. Continuation: To continue a list item after a block element (like a code-block), simply ensure the subsequent text is aligned with the same indentation level as the original list item body [5]. 5. Common issues: If text after a code-block is accidentally being treated as part of that block, it often means the subsequent lines are not sufficiently indented or are improperly separated [8]. Explicitly using blank lines between different types of block elements (e.g., between a paragraph and a code-block) within a list item is often necessary to correctly define the structure [9][8]. If you find that a paragraph or content is being incorrectly included in a preceding code-block, you can explicitly reset the context by ensuring the next line of text is aligned with the required list body indentation and properly separated by a blank line from the block [5][8].

Source the ROS and workspace environment in each new terminal.
If the reader follows the source-workspace path, source install/setup.bash affects only the first terminal. A second or third terminal does not inherit that environment. The later ros2 launch, ros2 run, and translator commands can then fail to resolve the source-built packages and executables. Add the same setup commands to each terminal step, or state that every terminal must source them.

ROS 2 sensor_msgs/msg/Joy message definition axes float32[] variable length
💡 Result:
In ROS 2, the sensor_msgs/msg/Joy message is defined with a variable-length array for the axes field [1][2][3]. The message definition is as follows: std_msgs/Header header float32[] axes int32[] buttons The axes field is specified as a float32[] (an array of 32-bit floating-point numbers) [1][4]. Because it is defined without a specific size in the brackets, it is a variable-length array, allowing the message to accommodate different joystick hardware with varying numbers of axes [1][2][5].
