Start the parameter bridge which will watch the specified topics.

# Shell A:
. ~/bridge_ws/install/setup.bash
ros2 run ros_gz_bridge parameter_bridge /chatter@std_msgs/msg/String@ignition.msgs.StringMsg

Now we start the ROS listener.

# Shell B:
. /opt/ros/humble/setup.bash
ros2 topic echo /chatter

Now we start the Gazebo Transport talker.

And the following for services:

ROS type	Gazebo request	Gazebo response
ros_gz_interfaces/srv/ControlWorld	gz.msgs.WorldControl	gz.msgs.Boolean

Run ros2 run ros_gz_bridge parameter_bridge -h for instructions.

NOTE: If during startup, gazebo detects that there is another publisher on /clock, it will only create the fully qualified /world/<worldname>/clock topic. Gazebo would be the only /clock publisher, the sole source of clock information.

You should create an unidirectional /clock bridge:

ros2 run ros_gz_bridge parameter_bridge /clock@rosgraph_msgs/msg/Clock[gz.msgs.Clock

An alternative set-up can be using the bridge with the override_timestamps_with_wall_time ros parameter set to true (default=false). In this set-up, all header timestamps of the outgoing messages will be stamped with the wall time. This can be useful when the simulator has to communicate with an external system that requires wall times.

Example 1a: Gazebo Transport talker and ROS 2 listener

Start the parameter bridge which will watch the specified topics.

Merge pull request #670 from gazebosim/ahcorde/jazzy/bp/663 [backport Jazzy] Improve argument parsing in Actions (#663)
Fix linter errors
Improve argument parsing in Actions The [RosGzBridge]{.title-ref} and [GzServer]{.title-ref} now support different spellings for boolean arguments ([True]{.title-ref}, [true]{.title-ref}). This also simplifies how conditionals are used to create composable nodes by evaluating the conditionals and using them as regular Python booleans instead of relying on [PythonExpression]{.title-ref}. It was actually the [PythonExpression]{.title-ref} that was preventing support of boolean arguments spelled [true]{.title-ref}/[false]{.title-ref}.
Fix use_respawn argument causing errors (#651) (#654) (cherry picked from commit cfd0f8c74ded9efdcb35410135d0a1da1727dcff) Co-authored-by: Aarav Gupta <<amronos275@gmail.com>> Co-authored-by: Alejandro Hernández Cordero <<ahcorde@gmail.com>>

And the following for services:

ROS type	Gazebo request	Gazebo response
ros_gz_interfaces/srv/ControlWorld	gz.msgs.WorldControl	gz.msgs.Boolean

Run ros2 run ros_gz_bridge parameter_bridge -h for instructions.

NOTE: If during startup, gazebo detects that there is another publisher on /clock, it will only create the fully qualified /world/<worldname>/clock topic. Gazebo would be the only /clock publisher, the sole source of clock information.

You should create an unidirectional /clock bridge:

ros2 run ros_gz_bridge parameter_bridge /clock@rosgraph_msgs/msg/Clock[gz.msgs.Clock

An alternative set-up can be using the bridge with the override_timestamps_with_wall_time ros parameter set to true (default=false). In this set-up, all header timestamps of the outgoing messages will be stamped with the wall time. This can be useful when the simulator has to communicate with an external system that requires wall times.

Example 1a: Gazebo Transport talker and ROS 2 listener

Start the parameter bridge which will watch the specified topics.

Start the parameter bridge which will watch the specified topics.

# Shell A:
. ~/bridge_ws/install/setup.bash
ros2 run ros_gz_bridge parameter_bridge /chatter@std_msgs/msg/String@ignition.msgs.StringMsg

Now we start the ROS listener.

# Shell B:
. /opt/ros/humble/setup.bash
ros2 topic echo /chatter

Now we start the Gazebo Transport talker.

Run ros2 run ros_gz_bridge parameter_bridge -h for instructions.

Example 1a: Gazebo Transport talker and ROS 2 listener

Start the parameter bridge which will watch the specified topics.

# Shell A:
. ~/bridge_ws/install/setup.bash
ros2 run ros_gz_bridge parameter_bridge /chatter@std_msgs/msg/String@ignition.msgs.StringMsg

Now we start the ROS listener.

# Shell B:
. /opt/ros/humble/setup.bash
ros2 topic echo /chatter

Now we start the Gazebo Transport talker.

Run ros2 run ros_gz_bridge parameter_bridge -h for instructions.

Example 1a: Gazebo Transport talker and ROS 2 listener

Start the parameter bridge which will watch the specified topics.

# Shell A:
. ~/bridge_ws/install/setup.bash
ros2 run ros_gz_bridge parameter_bridge /chatter@std_msgs/msg/String@ignition.msgs.StringMsg

Now we start the ROS listener.

# Shell B:
. /opt/ros/humble/setup.bash
ros2 topic echo /chatter

Now we start the Gazebo Transport talker.

And the following for services:

ROS type	Gazebo request	Gazebo response
ros_gz_interfaces/srv/ControlWorld	ignition.msgs.WorldControl	ignition.msgs.Boolean

Run ros2 run ros_gz_bridge parameter_bridge -h for instructions.

Example 1a: Gazebo Transport talker and ROS 2 listener

Start the parameter bridge which will watch the specified topics.

# Shell A:
. ~/bridge_ws/install/setup.bash
ros2 run ros_gz_bridge parameter_bridge /chatter@std_msgs/msg/String@ignition.msgs.StringMsg

Now we start the ROS listener.

# Shell B:
. /opt/ros/humble/setup.bash
ros2 topic echo /chatter

Now we start the Gazebo Transport talker.

```
