When working with ROS, there usually a lot unneccessary and error-prone boilerplate code involved when writing new nodes. There are also a couple of tools to to be handled correctly, e.g. Parameter Server and dynamic_reconfigure.
With the multitude of options on where to specify your parameters and how to configure your publishers and subscribers, we often face the problem that we get a redundancy in our code and config files.
The rosinterface_handler let's you:
- specify your whole interface to the ROS world in a single file
- automatically create publishers and subscribers
- use a generated struct to hold your parameters
- use member method for grabbing the parameters from the parameter server
- use member method for updating them from dynamic_reconfigure.
- make your parameters configurable with a single flag.
- set default, min and max values
- choose between global and private namespace
- use parameters of type long (64 bit integers)
- save a lot of time on specifying your parameters in several places.
- ...in both C++ and Python
