Debug car controls

Hardware needed: panda, giraffe, joystick

Use the panda's OBD-II port to connect with your car and a usb cable to connect the panda to your pc. Also, connect a joystick to your pc.

joystickd.py runs a deamon that reads inputs from a joystick and publishes them over zmq. boardd sends the CAN messages from your pc to the panda. debug_controls is a mocked version of controlsd.py and uses input from a joystick to send controls to your car.

Make sure the conditions are met in the panda to allow controls (e.g. cruise control engaged). You can also make a modification to the panda code to always allow controls.

Usage:

python carcontrols/joystickd.py

# In another terminal:
BASEDIR=$(pwd) selfdrive/boardd/boardd

# In another terminal:
python carcontrols/debug_controls.py
