Tinca: ROS 2 Dashboards

A ROS 2 dashboard you build yourself. Drag widgets onto a canvas, save multiple layouts, switch robots in a tap. Connect over Foxglove WebSocket or rosbridge. No cloud, no middleware, direct to your robot. WHO IT'S FOR Roboticists, hobbyists, students, and small teams who are tired of SSHing into their robot from a laptop every time they need a quick control session. Tinca is a configurable ROS 2 dashboard that runs on the phone already in your pocket. WHAT YOU CAN DO Joysticks, gauges, cameras. A widget for every part of your robot. Command, monitor, debug. - Build custom dashboards by dragging widgets onto a flexible grid - Save up to three dashboards, each with portrait and landscape layouts - Connect over Wi-Fi using Foxglove WebSocket or rosbridge - Subscribe to topics, call services, send actions - Switch between robots without reconfiguring everything SMART AUTO-DETECTION Connect to a robot and Tinca scans the topics it publishes. A smart wizard recommends pre-configured widgets for what it finds. While you build or edit a dashboard, widget configuration autocompletes with live topic suggestions, so you never need to remember exact topic names. Available on Free and Pro.
