ROS2/foxy Support

[RoboticsIntelligence]

I'm wondering if anyone interested and/or working on porting ira_laser_tools to ROS2/foxy?

I started porting it a while ago but it turned out to become a little different from the original method. See forked repo.
Due to the lack of time it is still pretty rudimentary and missing quite a lot but the laserscan_multi_merger node is usable in my project.
Feel free to check it out/contribute/use for your migration!

I’ve started to port everything too, but I’ve to read more about ROS2 stuff. I have literally no time atm, but for sure I will take a look at your implementation. Thank you for the support.

I did my attempt to port this too, but couldn't find a way to parse topics and handle dynamic param in ros2. My workaround was by trying to subscribe to both lidars directly. Check it here.
The basic idea is following ira_laser_tools, but also missing many things. Thanks for the effort on porting @relffok, I will check your repo and see what goes from there.

We created a PR to support latest ros2:
#47

We used @nakai-omer 's humble PR and also did a foxy branch which is working for us. https://github.com/MSDRobotics/ira_laser_tools/tree/foxy
