Service Definitions

This page lists all services available in the Tesollo ROS 2 packages. Services are divided into two categories:

  1. Hardware interface services – provided by delto_hardware (available when using ros2_control)

  2. SDK bridge services – provided by dg_sdk_ros2_bridge (available when using the SDK bridge)

Hardware Interface Services (delto_hardware)

These services are created by the delto_hardware hardware interface and are available under your gripper’s namespace (e.g., /dg5f_right/, /dg4f/, /dg3f_m/).

Service

Type

Description

/<ns>/delto_hardware_interface_node/set_ft_sensor_offset

std_srvs/srv/Trigger

Zero-calibrate all fingertip F/T sensors. Call when nothing is touching the fingertips

/<ns>/set_gpio_output1

std_srvs/srv/SetBool

Set GPIO output 1 (true = high, false = low)

/<ns>/set_gpio_output2

std_srvs/srv/SetBool

Set GPIO output 2

/<ns>/set_gpio_output3

std_srvs/srv/SetBool

Set GPIO output 3

Replace <ns> with your gripper’s namespace. Common namespaces:

  • dg5f_right, dg5f_left – DG-5F

  • dg5f_both – DG-5F dual-hand

  • dg5f_s_right, dg5f_s_left – DG-5F-S

  • dg4f – DG-4F

  • dg3f_m – DG-3F-M

Example usage:

# Calibrate F/T sensors on a DG-5F Right
ros2 service call /dg5f_right/delto_hardware_interface_node/set_ft_sensor_offset std_srvs/srv/Trigger

# Enable GPIO output 1 on a DG-4F
ros2 service call /dg4f/set_gpio_output1 std_srvs/srv/SetBool "{data: true}"

Note

The F/T sensor calibration and GPIO services use standard ROS 2 message types (std_srvs/srv/Trigger and std_srvs/srv/SetBool), which are included with every ROS 2 installation. No custom messages are needed.

SDK Bridge Services (dg_sdk_ros2_bridge)

All custom services below are defined in the dg_msgs package (part of the dg_sdk_ros2_bridge repository). They are available when running the SDK bridge node.
