Joystick Viewer

The Joystick Viewer shows real-time operator input and robot control state. Use it when you need visibility into steering commands without combining the control view with a video feed.

This viewer is useful for:

  • Verifying that joystick commands reach the robot.
  • Monitoring manual control during testing or supervised operation.
  • Debugging command direction, speed limits, and operator input behavior.

Configuration​

  1. Open the Monitoring tab.
  2. Click Add Viewer.
  3. Select Joystick Viewer.
  4. Choose the joystick or command stream used by the robot.
  5. Save the Monitoring preset.

When to Use Teleoperation Instead​

Use the Teleoperation Viewer when the operator needs a live video feed and active joystick controls in the same viewer.

Use the Joystick Viewer when the main goal is observing control input or validating command output.
