Description

This class handles the API interface between Chrono and ROS.

It contains a rclcpp::Node which is accessible through GetNode(). Multiple ChROSInterfaces can be created to support multiple nodes.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ ChROSInterface()

chrono::ros::ChROSInterface::ChROSInterface ( const std::string node_name )

Constructor for the ChROSInterface class.

Parameters

node_name the name to set to the created node. ROS will throw an error if the node name is identical to previously created nodes.

Member Function Documentation

◆ GetNode()

rclcpp::Node::SharedPtr chrono::ros::ChROSInterface::GetNode ( )

inline

Retrieve the ROS node.

Use this API to create a publisher or subscriber or any other ROS component.

◆ Initialize()

void chrono::ros::ChROSInterface::Initialize ( rclcpp::NodeOptions options = rclcpp::NodeOptions() )

Initialize the underlying ROS 2 node.

A SingleThreadedExecutor will be created and the node will be added to it.

◆ SpinSome()

void chrono::ros::ChROSInterface::SpinSome ( std::chrono::nanoseconds max_duration = std::chrono::nanoseconds(0) )

Tick once.

Will basically just call rclcpp::spin_some() NOTE: This is non-blocking. Available work will be executed, but it won't wait until it's completed if max_duration is 0 or the time since the last call to SpinSome is less than max_duration.
