0.1.6 (2023-11-15)

• Major overhaul to add new control modes (#4)
  • Rename PtzPosition.msg to PtzState.msg, add support for velocity control. Rename .../move_ptz action to .../position, add .../velocity to Axis camera to allow velocity control
  • Add support for move_ptz/position_abs and move_ptz/position_rel actions
  • Update the readme
  • Add support for absolute & relative positions for the flir PTU
  • Move the axis server's actions into the move_ptz namespace, add position_abs and position_rel
  • Update the limits config files, readme for the axis action server
  • Keep all nodes called "ptz_action_server_node" for all nodes by default to make searching params easier
  • Make the ROS parameters consistent across all implementations. Add limits file for the simulation node
  • Publish the sign of the direction of travel in velocity control feedback. Check if the camera has reached end-of-travel and signal the end of the velocity control action if this occurs
  • Debug the new action servers on actual hardware
  • Add the first-pass at supporting pan/tilt angles relative to an external frame. Not yet supported by the Flir PTU
  • Create a temporary vector frame we can use to calculate the necessary pan/tilt angles, rather than ignoring the tilt. This should allow the camera to operate correctly even on hills. Temporary frame has a UUID in the name so it shouldn't conflict with other frames in the robot
  • Modify the axis & simulation packages to use positive pan = clockwise instead of anticlockwise. Add a new action to pan/tilt/zoom to a specific frame
  • Fix message dependencies
  • Implement the new action to point the camera AT a specific frame, instead of just parallel with its X axis
