# Description
This ROS package contains physical descriptions of a Dynamixel pan&tilt device.
The following files are provided by this package:
* Xacro macro to be included in higher level urdf or xacro files.
* An example xacro file to be used as an example of use of the macro.
# Dependencies
This node has the following dependencies:
* [iri_dynamixel_pan_tilt_gazebo](https://gitlab.iri.upc.edu/labrobotica/ros/sensors/imu/iri_dynamixel_pan_tilt_gazebo) (for simulation only)
# Installation
- Move to workspace: `roscd && cd ../src`
- Clone the repository: `git clone https://gitlab.iri.upc.edu/labrobotica/ros/devices/ptu_d46/iri_dynamixel_pan_tilt_description.git`
- Compile: `roscd && cd .. && catkin_make -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release`
# How to use it
The [ax12_pan_tilt_example.xacro](https://gitlab.iri.upc.edu/labrobotica/ros/devices/dynamixel_pan_tilt/iri_dynamixel_pan_tilt_description/blob/master/urdf/ax12_pan_tilt_example.xacro)
file shows an example of how to include the xacro macro in another xacro file.
The xacro macro has the following parameters:
* **prefix:** name of the device used to specify the frames and joints to allow multiples instances.
* **parent:** name of the parent frame of the IMU sensor.
* **pan_joint_name:** name of the pan joint.
* **tilt_joint_name:** name of the tilt joint.
* **load_name:** name of the load frame.
