ROS 2 - Hardware and ros2_control, Step by Step

About this course

You have learned ROS 2 and you’re now wondering: how can you make your ROS 2 application talk to your hardware? For this, you will need ros2_control.And maybe you’ve already started to learn ros2_control but you feel lost?Don’t worry, this is completely normal, and you found the right course for you. At the end of the course you will be able to adapt your own robot and hardware to ros2_control.-- Why this course?I remember when I first started to learn ros2_control. It was a real nightmare. Almost no online resources, bloated demo codes, and the documentation makes you feel that you can only understand ros2_control if you were the one writing the source code.Thus, it takes a lot of trial and error to just be able to understand the basics. And this is if you’re already a good ROS developer.I’ve been through that and after years of experience, I have created this course. The goal? To save you countless hours and make you learn ros2_control in the easiest way possible.Instead of dropping you in a sea of documentation, I will guide you through all the steps, starting from scratch, and with hands-on lessons and projects. Also, since ros2_control means hardware, we will use real hardware for all the projects we do.Warning: this course is not for ROS 2 beginners, you need to have good ROS 2 and C++ basics to get started.-- How do I teach?If you’ve taken other ROS 2 courses from me you know that I’m not here to waste your time.My teaching method is simple:Step by stepGoing to the pointLearn while doingAlso I strongly focus on the “why” behind what you learn. The goal is not just to make you blindly repeat some steps, but to understand why those steps matter.And don’t take my word
