Teleoperation

Install trlc-dk1 from the GitHub repository. Use LeRobot’s CLI to identify your leader and follower ports:
lerobot-find-port
Write them in examles/teleop.py or examples/bi_teleop.py. The DK1FollowerConfig class has a parameter called joint_velocity_scaling:
class DK1FollowerConfig(RobotConfig):
    port: str
    joint_velocity_scaling: float = 0.2
    ...
It scales the joint velocity where 1.0 is maximum motor speed.
Only increase the scaling to 1 after you tested your whole setup.
