The ewellix TLT ROS package

This ROS package allows you to control or simulate an Ewellix TLT lifting column. It is compatible with the Kinetic and melodic versions.

Once the program is launched you can move the column joint via the joint_state_publisher_gui interface.

Use in real conditions

Once the program is launched, you can control the size of the column by posting on the topic: /ewellix_tlt/size Value between 0.0 and 0.5.
