cras_topic_tools

Nodes and nodeletes for safe and efficient manipulation with topics. Mostly supplementing what is missing from topic_tools and nodelet_topic_tools.

Support and Build Status

This package is supported on Melodic and Noetic until their End of Life (and maybe later). It is occasionally tested with non-default GCC versions like Melodic+GCC8 or Noetic+GCC11.

Development versions: CI Dev noetic ubuntu

Release jobs Noetic Noetic version: Bin ubuntu noetic-amd64 Bin ubuntu noetic-arm64 Bin ubuntu noetic-armhf

Provided Nodes and Nodelets

Here is an overview of the provided nodes and nodelets. See their API docs for details. Most of these nodes/nodelets are message-type-agnostic, but they may differ between messages that have or do not have a std_msgs/Header header field.

  • change_header: Allows modifying headers of messages (frame ID, timestamp). Usage.
  • count_messages: Count the number of received messages and make it available as a ROS parameter. Usage.
  • filter: (only node, no nodelet) Filter messages on a topic based on a Python expression. Usage.
  • heartbeat: Publish cras_msgs/Heartbeat heartbeat of a topic. Usage.
  • mux_replay: (only node, no nodelet) Control a mux with a recording of its ~selected topic as if it were live. Usage.
  • priority_mux: Inspired by twist_mux, provides a hierarchical way of switching output topics. Works for all message types and for multiple output topics. Usage.
  • relay: Simple relay with the possibility of lazy subscription. Usage.
  • repeat: Increase the frequency of a topic (with various trigger modes etc.). Usage.
  • throttle_messages: Throttle down frequency of a topic - to an exact value, not using the imprecise algorithm from topic_tools throttle. Usage.

A few convenience libraries for working with generic topics are also provided:

  • shape_shifter: Easily get the buffer or header of a ShapeShifter message or convert a message to ShapeShifter. Also contains a safe-to-use version of ShapeShifter for Melodic with fixed memory corruption problems.
  • lazy_subscriber: Base class for all lazy subscribers.
  • generic_lazy_pub_sub: Base implementation of a generic pair of publisher-subscriber of a type not known at compile type.
  • priority_mux_base: Base implementation of priority_mux that can be used outside a nodelet.

cras_topic_tools

Nodes and nodeletes for safe and efficient manipulation with topics. Mostly supplementing what is missing from topic_tools and nodelet_topic_tools.

Support and Build Status

This package is supported on Melodic and Noetic until their End of Life (and maybe later). It is occasionally tested with non-default GCC versions like Melodic+GCC8 or Noetic+GCC11.

Development versions: CI Dev noetic ubuntu

Release jobs Noetic Noetic version: Bin ubuntu noetic-amd64 Bin ubuntu noetic-arm64 Bin ubuntu noetic-armhf

Provided Nodes and Nodelets

Here is an overview of the provided nodes and nodelets. See their API docs for details. Most of these nodes/nodelets are message-type-agnostic, but they may differ between messages that have or do not have a std_msgs/Header header field.

  • change_header: Allows modifying headers of messages (frame ID, timestamp). Usage.
  • count_messages: Count the number of received messages and make it available as a ROS parameter. Usage.
  • filter: (only node, no nodelet) Filter messages on a topic based on a Python expression. Usage.
  • heartbeat: Publish cras_msgs/Heartbeat heartbeat of a topic. Usage.
  • mux_replay: (only node, no nodelet) Control a mux with a recording of its ~selected topic as if it were live. Usage.
  • priority_mux: Inspired by twist_mux, provides a hierarchical way of switching output topics. Works for all message types and for multiple output topics. Usage.
  • relay: Simple relay with the possibility of lazy subscription. Usage.
  • repeat: Increase the frequency of a topic (with various trigger modes etc.). Usage.
  • throttle_messages: Throttle down frequency of a topic - to an exact value, not using the imprecise algorithm from topic_tools throttle. Usage.

A few convenience libraries for working with generic topics are also provided:

  • shape_shifter: Easily get the buffer or header of a ShapeShifter message or convert a message to ShapeShifter. Also contains a safe-to-use version of ShapeShifter for Melodic with fixed memory corruption problems.
  • lazy_subscriber: Base class for all lazy subscribers.
  • generic_lazy_pub_sub: Base implementation of a generic pair of publisher-subscriber of a type not known at compile type.
  • priority_mux_base: Base implementation of priority_mux that can be used outside a nodelet.

    • LazySubscriber: callback is now passed as parameter instead of being a virtual member function
    • GenericLazyPubSub: callback is now passed as parameter instead of being a virtual member function
    • the nodelets no longer have a dedicated PubSub object that would be reusable elsewhere (the minimum probability of reuse does not outweigh the code complications it brings)

cras_topic_tools

Nodes and nodeletes for safe and efficient manipulation with topics. Mostly supplementing what is missing from topic_tools and nodelet_topic_tools.

Support and Build Status

This package is supported on Melodic and Noetic until their End of Life (and maybe later). It is occasionally tested with non-default GCC versions like Melodic+GCC8 or Noetic+GCC11.

Development versions: CI Dev noetic ubuntu

Release jobs Noetic Noetic version: Bin ubuntu noetic-amd64 Bin ubuntu noetic-arm64 Bin ubuntu noetic-armhf

Provided Nodes and Nodelets

Here is an overview of the provided nodes and nodelets. See their API docs for details. Most of these nodes/nodelets are message-type-agnostic, but they may differ between messages that have or do not have a std_msgs/Header header field.

  • change_header: Allows modifying headers of messages (frame ID, timestamp). Usage.
  • count_messages: Count the number of received messages and make it available as a ROS parameter. Usage.
  • filter: (only node, no nodelet) Filter messages on a topic based on a Python expression. Usage.
  • heartbeat: Publish cras_msgs/Heartbeat heartbeat of a topic. Usage.
  • mux_replay: (only node, no nodelet) Control a mux with a recording of its ~selected topic as if it were live. Usage.
  • priority_mux: Inspired by twist_mux, provides a hierarchical way of switching output topics. Works for all message types and for multiple output topics. Usage.
  • relay: Simple relay with the possibility of lazy subscription. Usage.
  • repeat: Increase the frequency of a topic (with various trigger modes etc.). Usage.
  • throttle_messages: Throttle down frequency of a topic - to an exact value, not using the imprecise algorithm from topic_tools throttle. Usage.

A few convenience libraries for working with generic topics are also provided:

  • shape_shifter: Easily get the buffer or header of a ShapeShifter message or convert a message to ShapeShifter. Also contains a safe-to-use version of ShapeShifter for Melodic with fixed memory corruption problems.
  • lazy_subscriber: Base class for all lazy subscribers.
  • generic_lazy_pub_sub: Base implementation of a generic pair of publisher-subscriber of a type not known at compile type.
  • priority_mux_base: Base implementation of priority_mux that can be used outside a nodelet.

  • priority_mux: Inspired by twist_mux, provides a hierarchical way of switching output topics. Works for all message types and for multiple output topics. Usage.
  • relay: Simple relay with the possibility of lazy subscription. Usage.
  • repeat: Increase the frequency of a topic (with various trigger modes etc.). Usage.
  • throttle_messages: Throttle down frequency of a topic - to an exact value, not using the imprecise algorithm from topic_tools throttle. Usage.

A few convenience libraries for working with generic topics are also provided:

  • shape_shifter: Easily get the buffer or header of a ShapeShifter message or convert a message to ShapeShifter. Also contains a safe-to-use version of ShapeShifter for Melodic with fixed memory corruption problems.
  • lazy_subscriber: Base class for all lazy subscribers.
  • generic_lazy_pub_sub: Base implementation of a generic pair of publisher-subscriber of a type not known at compile type.
  • priority_mux_base: Base implementation of priority_mux that can be used outside a nodelet.

cras_topic_tools

Nodes and nodeletes for safe and efficient manipulation with topics. Mostly supplementing what is missing from topic_tools and nodelet_topic_tools.

Support and Build Status

This package is supported on Melodic and Noetic until their End of Life (and maybe later). It is occasionally tested with non-default GCC versions like Melodic+GCC8 or Noetic+GCC11.

Development versions: CI Dev noetic ubuntu

Release jobs Noetic Noetic version: Bin ubuntu noetic-amd64 Bin ubuntu noetic-arm64 Bin ubuntu noetic-armhf

Provided Nodes and Nodelets

Here is an overview of the provided nodes and nodelets. See their API docs for details. Most of these nodes/nodelets are message-type-agnostic, but they may differ between messages that have or do not have a std_msgs/Header header field.

  • change_header: Allows modifying headers of messages (frame ID, timestamp). Usage.
  • count_messages: Count the number of received messages and make it available as a ROS parameter. Usage.
  • filter: (only node, no nodelet) Filter messages on a topic based on a Python expression. Usage.
  • heartbeat: Publish cras_msgs/Heartbeat heartbeat of a topic. Usage.
  • mux_replay: (only node, no nodelet) Control a mux with a recording of its ~selected topic as if it were live. Usage.
  • priority_mux: Inspired by twist_mux, provides a hierarchical way of switching output topics. Works for all message types and for multiple output topics. Usage.

2.3.0 (2023-07-12)

  • priority_mux: Added possibility to send a message just before disabling a topic.
  • shape_shifter: Improved getHeader().
  • Increased minimum CMake version to 3.10.2.
  • priority_mux: Total rewrite, now it should really work.

2.2.1 (2023-05-15)

2.2.0 (2023-04-09)

  • Added heartbeat.
  • Simplified lazy subscriber classes and nodelet code. Added ~tcp_no_delay param to most nodelets. API breaks included, but hopefully nothing will be affected. API breaks:
    • LazySubscriberBase->ConditionalSubscriber
    • LazySubscriber: callback is now passed as parameter instead of being a virtual member function
    • GenericLazyPubSub: callback is now passed as parameter instead of being a virtual member function
    • the nodelets no longer have a dedicated PubSub object that would be reusable elsewhere (the minimum probability of reuse does not outweigh the code complications it brings)

cras_topic_tools

Nodes and nodeletes for safe and efficient manipulation with topics. Mostly supplementing what is missing from topic_tools and nodelet_topic_tools.

Support and Build Status

This package is supported on Melodic and Noetic until their End of Life (and maybe later). It is occasionally tested with non-default GCC versions like Melodic+GCC8 or Noetic+GCC11.

Development versions: CI Dev noetic ubuntu

Release jobs Noetic Noetic version: Bin ubuntu noetic-amd64 Bin ubuntu noetic-arm64 Bin ubuntu noetic-armhf

Provided Nodes and Nodelets

Here is an overview of the provided nodes and nodelets. See their API docs for details. Most of these nodes/nodelets are message-type-agnostic, but they may differ between messages that have or do not have a std_msgs/Header header field.

  • change_header: Allows modifying headers of messages (frame ID, timestamp). Usage.
  • count_messages: Count the number of received messages and make it available as a ROS parameter. Usage.
  • filter: (only node, no nodelet) Filter messages on a topic based on a Python expression. Usage.
  • heartbeat: Publish cras_msgs/Heartbeat heartbeat of a topic. Usage.
  • mux_replay: (only node, no nodelet) Control a mux with a recording of its ~selected topic as if it were live. Usage.
  • priority_mux: Inspired by twist_mux, provides a hierarchical way of switching output topics. Works for all message types and for multiple output topics. Usage.
  • relay: Simple relay with the possibility of lazy subscription. Usage.
  • repeat: Increase the frequency of a topic (with various trigger modes etc.). Usage.
  • throttle_messages: Throttle down frequency of a topic - to an exact value, not using the imprecise algorithm from topic_tools throttle. Usage.

A few convenience libraries for working with generic topics are also provided:

  • shape_shifter: Easily get the buffer or header of a ShapeShifter message or convert a message to ShapeShifter. Also contains a safe-to-use version of ShapeShifter for Melodic with fixed memory corruption problems.
  • lazy_subscriber: Base class for all lazy subscribers.
  • generic_lazy_pub_sub: Base implementation of a generic pair of publisher-subscriber of a type not known at compile type.
  • priority_mux_base: Base implementation of priority_mux that can be used outside a nodelet.
