Hi
I planned to use Phidgets 1065 controller (specification: https://www.phidgets.com/?tier=3&catid= ... rodid=1089) to control the speed of a dc motor (specification: lynxmotion-12v-480-rpm-2123oz-in-152-brushed-dc-gear-motor-w--encoder) on ROS, but it didn't work.

I tested the controller by using the Phidget Control Panel on windows, it could control the motor. So the motor and controller are good.

Then, I've tried to use the packages found online (ros-self-driving-core and phidgets_drivers) but none of them works.

Please recommend a working ROS package for this controller to achieve controlling the speed of the motor correctly on ROS.

Thanks
