Teleop panel
Teleoperate your robot by publishing geometry_msgs/Twist or geometry_msgs/msg/Twist messages on a given topic.
The directional pad includes up, down, left, and right buttons for movement, as well as a center stop button for sending a stop command. Each button's field and value are configurable in the panel settings.
To use the Teleop panel, connect to a data source that supports publishing. For more information, check out the supported data sources.
