[docker] Is it supposed to generate micrortps_agent and micro-ros-agent? #166

Edit3: To potentially save poor souls like me,

To be able to follow the documentation(https://docs.px4.io/main/en/ros/ros2_comm.html) for setting up PX4 RTPS-ROS2 (Nov.10.22),

use these commits for the following repos:

PX4_Auto~ : 30150f723a69068d12de9295b5d7e1e4fdbf4677

PX4_msg: https://github.com/PX4/px4_msgs/tree/daee1217b8834cb5293f7913bd7f0850c882ffb7

PX4_ros_com: https://github.com/PX4/px4_ros_com/tree/7e25c34df0aab25d6e723385322c62712ea97207

Edit2: https://github.com/PX4/px4_ros_com/pull/157

This new PR from Sep.22 changed. There's no more [generate_microRTPS_bridge.py] in this project.

The documentation seems to be outdated.

Edit1: To be short,

Could I know which part of this project enables

"micrortps_agent" and "micro-ros-agent"

commands?

I'm trying to setup PX4 and ROS2 communication. All builds are successful with the source /opt/ros/~~ and source /install/setup.bash

However, the bash shell cannot find micrortps_agent and cannot run the listener.

I have been following: https://docs.px4.io/main/en/ros/ros2_comm.html#install-fast-dds

1. docker, ubunt20, ros2 foxy, (FROM osrf/ros:foxy-desktop) - check

### 5.b thoughs After adding micrortps_agent under /src/ and colcon build, the micrortps_agent works. Now, there's msg saying unexpected topic 16 and 27. It seems that the parser is not working properly with px4_msgs.

Based on the documentaion, I assumed it should have worked just by px4_ros_com.

6.amy improvisation By following the documentation, it does not know the cmd, micro_ros_agent.

By, https://micro.ros.org/docs/tutorials/core/first_application_linux,

git clone https://github.com/micro-ROS/micro_ros_setup

colcon build and source install/setup.bash ros2 run micro_ros_setup create_agent_ws.sh ros2 run micro_ros_setup build_agent.sh source install/local_setup.bash

root@elcom:/home/ubuntu/projects/robot_ws# micro_ros_agent bash: micro_ros_agent: command not found

ros2 run micro_ros_agent usage: ros2 [-h] Call ros2 <command> -h for more detailed usage. ... ros2: error: argument Call ros2 <command> -h for more detailed usage.: invalid choice: 'micro_ros_agent' (choose from 'action', 'bag', 'component', 'daemon', 'doctor', 'extension_points', 'extensions', 'interface', 'launch', 'lifecycle', 'multicast', 'node', 'param', 'pkg', 'run', 'security', 'service', 'topic', 'wtf')

ros2 run micro_ros_agent does not have option for UDP..

Conclusion At my best understading, by following the doc, https://docs.px4.io/main/en/ros/ros2_comm.html#install-fast-dds,

micrortps_agent: command not found micro_ros_agent: command not found

I wonder if this repo is supposed to install these two commands. - I'm pretty sure yes according to: https://dev.px4.io/v1.11_noredirect/en/middleware/micrortps.html, "The px4_ros_com package, when built, generates everything needed to access PX4 uORB messages from a ROS2 node (for ROS you also need ros1_bridge). This includes all the required components of the PX4 RTPS bridge, including the micrortps_agent and the IDL files (required by the micrortps_agent)."

My guess is that the installation process does not output any error. I did source /install/setup.bash. Any advise where should I be looking into?

Hi! I just solved the problem on step 5. I'm using ubuntu 20.04 and ros2 Galactic. I cloned PX4-Autopilot repo of version 1.13.1 by git clone -b v1.13.1 https://github.com/PX4/PX4-Autopilot.git --recursive After cloned px4_ros_com and px4_msg, i switched branch by cd ~/px4_ros_com_ros2/src/px4_msgs && git checkout daee121 and cd ~/px4_ros_com_ros2/src/px4_ros_com && git checkout 7e25c34 Then i used the python script inside the PX4-Autopilot repo to convert the messages and the message list to overwrite the messages and list in px4_ros_com and px4_msg: python ~/PX4-Autopilot/msg/tools/uorb_to_ros_msgs.py ~/PX4-Autopilot/msg/ ~/px4_ros_com_ros2/src/px4_msgs/msg/ then python ~/PX4-Autopilot/msg/tools/uorb_to_ros_urtps_topics.py -i ~/PX4-Autopilot/msg/tools/urtps_bridge_topics.yaml -o ~/px4_ros_com_ros2/src/px4_ros_com/templates/urtps_bridge_topics.yaml And rebuild the workspace by running cd ~/px4_ros_com_ros2/src/px4_ros_com/scripts/ and ./build_ros2_workspace.bash --verbose --no_ros1_bridge --ros_distro galactic --ros_path /opt/ros/galactic/setup.bash. But the build still fails because the definition of message TrajectorySetpoint dose not met the requirement of script ~/px4_ros_com_ros2/src/px4_ros_com/src/examples/offboard/offboard_control.cpp. So i modified the script around line 175 by comment msg.position = {0.0, 0.0, -5.0}; and replace it by msg.x = 0.0; msg.y = 0.0; msg.z = -5.0; and rebuilt the workspace. Then all commands ran properly. forgive my poor english :)
