Phidgets temperature ROS 2 driver

This is the ROS 2 driver for Phidgets temperature.

Usage

To run this driver standalone, do the following:

ros2 launch phidgets_temperature temperature-launch.py

Published Topics

• /temperature (std_msgs/Float64) - The current temperature in degrees Celsius.

Parameters

• serial (int) - The serial number of the phidgets gyroscope to connect to. If -1 (the default), connects to any gyroscope phidget that can be found.
• hub_port (int) - The phidgets VINT hub port to connect to. Only used if the gyroscope phidget is connected to a VINT hub. Defaults to 0.
• thermocouple_type (int) - The type of thermocouple that is connected. Allowed values are 0 (for not a thermocouple, the default), 1 (for a J-Type), 2 (for a K-Type), 3 (for an E-Type), or 4 (for a T-Type). See https://www.phidgets.com/docs/Thermocouple_Primer for more information.
• data_interval_ms (int) - The number of milliseconds between acquisitions of data on the device (allowed values are dependent on the device). Defaults to 500 ms.
• publish_rate (double) - 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.
