simulation_utils_ros_tool

Small nodes providing basic functionality for the simulation framework.

Consists of

static_utm_tf_publisher

• launched via launch/static_utm_tf_publisher.launch
• publishes a static tf, based on a UTM transformation
  • e.g. from utm_base (UTM Coordinate System) to map_center (local UTM Coordinate System, with origin (0,0) in the point (map_center_lat, map_center_lon) of utm_base)

static_nav_sat_fix_publisher

• launched via launch/static_nav_sat_fix_publisher.launch
• publishes a static nav sat fix
  • used e.g. for rviz satellite
  • provides the information that map_center (defined with the tf publisher above) has (lat,lon)-coordinates (map_center_lat, map_center_lon)

nav_sat_fix_launchfile_publisher

• launched via launch/nav_sat_fix_launchfile_publisher.launch
• publishes a static nav sat fix
• similar to static_nav_sat_fix_publisher but launchfile-only, using rostopic pub

pose_stamped_launchfile_publisher

• launched via launch/pose_stamped_launchfile_publisher.launch
• publishes a pose with stamp=0 (= ros::Time::now)

Installation

• this package is part of the simulation framework
• see simulation_management_ros_tool for installation and more details

Usage

• use these nodes in your framework setup as in simulation_initialization_ros_tool
