Inputs

• Name: string
• Message type: std_msgs.msg.String (Defines the message structure)
• Queue Size: How many messages can be queued for transmission
• Rate: How often the message is transmitted in Hz
  • Is this required? The data can be pushed at the rate it comes in. It will just have to be time stamped.
  • Could have an YAML options to say periodic and then request a rate. This could be good for a publisher grabbing information from a position sensor or something like that.
