[rqt] nimbro rqt-based GUI plugins not visible #15

Closed liesrock closed 4 years ago

liesrock commented 4 years ago

Hi @xqms,

with @alaurenzi we are trying to adopt the nimbro_network framework for the communication between the pilot station and our robots.

We tried to execute the rqt-plugins you developed, but we are not able to see them inside rtq_gui.

We already tried to use the:

rqt --force-discover

with no success.

We also tried to source from install space, but the result is the same: rqt does not show up the plugins.

Any ideas?

Hey @liesrock ;)

I'm not 100% sure what could be causing the problem, but I know that there were some Qt version problems some time ago (some plugins were still using Qt4). I probably won't have time to look into this further. What you can try is our internal development version, which is the one we actively use. I just pushed it to the develop branch. Unfortunately the launch file API (topics & YAML configuration) changed a bit, you will have to figure it out.

I'm not 100% sure what state the rqt plugins are in on that version, but it's probably better than the old stuff.

I'm aiming towards a proper release of "nimbro_network 2.0" sometime later, but right now I don't have time to focus on that. Maybe next year ;)

Thanks a lot @xqms! I think you did a great job here. We will try to figure out how to solve the issues on the develop branch.

I will keep you posted on our fork!
