Moving diagonally in turtlesim using ROSPY

The reason I created this repository is I had a really hard time figuring out how to move a turtlesim sideways without rotating the turtlesim. Unfortunately, there is not quite a lot of source to learn it.

How to use

1. Clone or download this project to your catkin workspace src folder

   cd ~/catkin_ws/src
   git clone https://github.com/aemzayn/turtlesim_diagonal_move.git
   cd ~/catkin_ws && catkin_make
   

2. Run roscore in separate terminal
3. Run turtlesim in another terminal

   rosrun turtlesim turtlesim_node
   

4. Run this package also in different terminal

   rosrun turtlesim_diagonal_move move.py
   

5. Enter the direction and angle
