rosinterface_handler

Package Summary

A unified parameter handler for nodes with automatic code generation. Save time on defining your parameters, publishers and subscribers. No more redundant code. Easy error checking. Make them dynamic with a single flag.

Unified Interface Handling for ROS

When working with ROS, there usually a lot unneccessary and error-prone boilerplate code involved when writing new nodes. There are also a couple of tools to to be handled correctly, e.g. Parameter Server and dynamic_reconfigure.

With the multitude of options on where to specify your parameters and how to configure your publishers and subscribers, we often face the problem that we get a redundancy in our code and config files.

The rosinterface_handler let's you:

  • specify your whole interface to the ROS world in a single file
  • automatically create publishers and subscribers
  • use a generated struct to hold your parameters
  • use member method for grabbing the parameters from the parameter server
  • use member method for updating them from dynamic_reconfigure.
  • make your parameters configurable with a single flag.
  • set default, min and max values
  • choose between global and private namespace
  • use parameters of type long (64 bit integers)
  • save a lot of time on specifying your parameters in several places.
  • ...in both C++ and Python
