# FT-300S LCM Driver

## Installation

Build:

```bash

bazel build //...

```

Add user to `dialout` group (replace `username` with the actual username). NOTE: Need to

reboot for the changes to take effect.

```bash

sudo usermod -a -G dialout username

```

Make sure that the sensor is visible. A new device named `ttyUSBx` should be present in

`/dev`, which can be verified with the following command.

```bash

ls -l /dev | grep ttyUSB

```

Additional documentation can be downloaded from [here](https://robotiq.com/support) by

selecting `FT 3000-S Force Torque Sensor` -> `Other brands`.

## Running the driver

Sensor readings are published on `FT300S_SENSOR_DATA` and are of type `ft_reading_t`

(see `lcmtypes`).

```bash

./bazel-bin/src/ft_300s_driver

```

NOTE: It is normal for `Input/output error` to be displayed for the first few seconds.

A permission error means that the user has not been added to the `dialout` group or

that the computer has not been rebooted afterwards.
