Open-source C++, Python, and ROS software for ATI Net F/T Ethernet force/torque sensors.
Build native applications, stream measurements from Python, or integrate force/torque data into ROS and ros2_control.
| Project | Interface | What it provides |
|---|---|---|
| netft-cpp | C++ | Native client library and the netft command-line tool |
| pyNetFT | Python | Typed Python API backed by a native C++ core |
| ros-netft | ROS 1 & ROS 2 | Standalone ROS driver and ros2_control sensor integration |
Each project provides its own installation, configuration, API, and development documentation.
- Building a C++ application or using the command line? Start with netft-cpp.
- Building a Python application? Start with pyNetFT.
- Integrating a sensor into a ROS robot? Start with ros-netft.
- Stream force and torque measurements over Ethernet
- Discover calibration scales and measurement units from the sensor
- Access raw counts, calibrated measurements, health information, and faults
- Use native C++ or typed Python APIs
- Publish ROS wrench data from ROS 1 and ROS 2
- Integrate with
ros2_controlforce/torque broadcasters - Monitor sensors from the
netftcommand-line tool
