Proposal: Adding sensor_msgs/JointState publisher #34

Closed OkkeHendriks closed 9 years ago

OkkeHendriks commented 9 years ago

When using the robot_state_publisher (which is used frequently to publish the TFs of a robot) one needs joint states as sensor_msgs JointState. I created a package based on this code, which republishes the dynamixel JointState messages as sensor_msgs JointState messages.

This package can be found here: https://github.com/RobotRose/dynamixel_joint_state_publisher

It may be a good idea to integrate this package into dynamixel_motor? Or it may be a better solution to do the publishing of sensor_msgs JointState directly (in parallel to the dynamixel messages)?

I suggest you can join the discussion in the open PR https://github.com/arebgun/dynamixel_motor/pull/27. I close this, but please reopen if you think that PR is different from what you suggest.
