start the thing with roslaunch magni_goal_sender go.launch
To get the coordinates, I put the yellow tape on the floor. then used rosrun tf tf_echo map base_link while teleop the magni to get to the corresponding orientation and built the yaml file accordingly
it’s very crude but it should get you up and running if you struggle to send goals.
ubuntu@magni02:~$ cat ~/catkin_ws/src/magni_goal_sender/param/goals.yaml
# x , y, yaw
# units; x/y => meters | yeaw => degrees
# tuse teleop to move magni, then use the following commande to see current pose
# rosrun tf tf_echo map base_link
goals:
- 1.163, 0.451, 23.525
- 2.296, 0.570, -38.058
