MAE ROS2 Workshop

This code base includes some examples used for the MAE Robotics ROS2 workshop. There are a couple of different ros2 workspaces included in this repo.

Basics:

This workspace has two demo packages. Both include a single c++ node and a single python node communicating.

• The pubsub is an example of a package which uses a single publisher and single subscriber.
• The cliser is an example of a package which uses a single service and a single client.

Both packages show a similar setup, and use CMakeLists.txt and package.xml to control the build/install procedure and the dependencies, respectively.

Note: It is possible for a single node to contain many publishers, subscribers, clients, services, etc. You just need to be careful about the blocking calls!

External:

The external repo is not actually used here. It is just a repo that contains some simple example cmake.
