ins_gamepad_interaction

Virtual interaction in gazebo simulator with an INS (inertial navigation system) gamepad. This is for the project 1 of Algorithm Robotics of Spring2016, only the part concerned with ROS is here, Arduino programs running on gamepad and remote are not included.

Demo test

Get gamepad running and magnetometer calibrated. Get the coordinator xbee and arduino connected with computer.
