ROS IMU data topics not showing #306

Closed Zahin-Nambiar closed 3 months ago

Zahin-Nambiar commented 4 months ago

I have a MicroStrain 3DM-GV7-AHRS unit confirmed connected to a linux machine Ubuntu 22 ROS2 IRON "/dev/ttyACM0". I am trying to get the IMU topics publishing using "ros2 launch microstrain_inertial_driver microstrain_launch.py" I have the params file modified, see below. When I launch, only the "/microstrain_inertial_driver/transition_event" topic shows. I had the sensor outputting at one point but looking back at it a weeks later it isnt. I feel its a parameter I have wrong, but not sure.

OS: [Ubuntu 22 Server] Architecture: [Raspberry Pi 3B+] ROS Version: [e.g. IRON IRWINI] Version: [e.g. 2.0.0] Sensor(s): [MicroStrain 3DM-GV7-AHRS ]

HI @Zahin-Nambiar, please see the lifecycle node section of the README.

To summarize, you should launch the driver with

ros2 launch microstrain_inertial_driver microstrain_launch.py configure:=true activate:=true

resolved, thank you
