2D live plot of the boat using matplotlib #232

Closed Nanoseb closed 6 years ago

Nanoseb commented 6 years ago

We used to use RViz for 2D plots of the boat, however RViz doesn't work very reliably and crashes without reason (see #216). RViz is a huge piece of software and we are just using it for plotting 2D map of the boat for the simulator, so it is a bit overkill as well.

The idea here is to have a simple live XY plot of the boat using matplotlib.

Closing this for now, let's reopen new one if we need more things to go on this plot. I've also added a script in /piaccess (live-2D-plot.sh) to run the plot node locally when the boat is at sea.
