As you add more sensors to the physical robot, you will need to create additional driver files to
communicate with the hardware and return the sensor readings.
A number of drivers have already been written for the most popular sensors and are included in Player
by default. (Here is a listing of the available drivers:
2.0.0/player/group__drivers.html) All related configuration options can be found there. To use those
devices simply add them to the .cfg file to allow the robot to access the sensors.
Examples:
Hokuyo URG scanning laser range-finder
Text to add to your robot .cfg file
driver
(
name "urglaser"
provides ["laser:0"]
port "/dev/ttyACM0"
)
