Phidgets humidity ROS driver

This is the ROS driver for Phidgets humidity sensor. The various topics, services, and parameters that the node operates with are listed below.

Topics

• /humidity (std_msgs/Float64) - The current relative humidity in %.

Parameters

• serial (int) - The serial number of the phidgets humidity to connect to. If -1 (the default), connects to any humidity phidget that can be found.
• hub_port (int) - The phidgets VINT hub port to connect to. Only used if the humidity phidget is connected to a VINT hub. Defaults to 0.
• data_interval_ms (int) - The number of milliseconds between acquisitions of data on the device. Defaults to 500 ms.
• publish_rate (int) - How often the driver will publish data on the ROS topic. If 0 (the default), it will publish every time there is an update from the device (so at the data_interval_ms). If positive, it will publish the data at that rate regardless of the acquisition interval.
