Driving Dingo

Dingo ships with a game controller that can be used for teleoperation. By default this is a PS4 controller, though other controllers can also be used.

Warning

Dingo can move fast enough to cause physical damage to itself or its surroundings if driven irresponsibly.

We strongly recommend driving in normal (slow) mode first, and only enabling turbo in large, open areas that are free of people and obstacles.

When driving a physical robot always make sure you have a clear line of sight to the robot. In case of emergency, release both L1 and R1 on the controller to stop the robot immediately.

Dingo will ship with its controller pre-paired, but if you need to re-pair your controller, follow the instructions here.

Driving Dingo-D

To drive the Dingo-D, Axis 0 controls the robot’s steering, Axis 1 controls the forward/backward velocity, and buttons 4 and 5 act as enable & enable-turbo respectively. On common controllers these correspond to the following physical controls:

Axis/Button	Physical Input	PS4	F710	Xbox One	Action
Axis 0	Left thumb stick horizontal	LJ	LJ	LJ	Drive forward/backward
Axis 1	Left thumb stick vertical	LJ	LJ	LJ	Rotate
Button 4	Left shoulder button or trigger	L1	LB	LB	Enable normal speed
Button 5	Right shoulder button or trigger	R1	RB	RB	Enable turbo

You must hold either Button 4 or Button 5 at all times while driving the robot.

Driving Dingo-O

To drive the Dingo-O, Axis 0 controls the robot’s steering, Axis 1 controls the robot’s left/right translation, and Axis 2 controls the robot’s steering. Buttons 4 and 5 act as enable and enable-turbo respectively. On common controllers these correspond to the following physical controls:

Axis/Button	Physical Input	PS4	F710	Xbox One	Action
Axis 0	Left thumb stick horizontal	LJ	LJ	LJ	Drive forward/backward
Axis 1	Left thumb stick vertical	LJ	LJ	LJ	Drive left/right
Axis 2	Right thumb stick horizontal	RJ	RJ	RJ	Rotate
Button 4	Left shoulder button or trigger	L1	LB	LB	Enable normal speed
Button 5	Right shoulder button or trigger	R1	RB	RB	Enable turbo

You must hold either Button 4 or Button 5 at all times while driving the robot.
