We've been creating our own ROS messages when a compatible message type is not available in the ROS ecosystem (see https://github.com/gazebosim/ros_gz/tree/ros2/ros_gz_interfaces). Can we do the same here?
Feel free to add me as a reviewer @srmainwaring
Adding Altimeter bridging here : https://github.com/gazebosim/ros_gz/pull/413. Note, addin AirSpeedSensor also requires adding SensorNoise msg.
SensorNoise msg work in progress : https://github.com/gazebosim/ros_gz/pull/417
Is there anything missing for the AirSpeedSensor? I would also be very interested in having this data in ROS
Just for the sake of documentation: It seems that the Air Speed sensor msgs only exists in gz_msgs 9+. Since the current stable version of ros_gz is using Fortress and therefore gz_msgs version 7, there is no message to bridge atm.
Desired behavior
Provide mappings for sensor data:
gz.msgs.AirSpeedSensor
gz.msgs.Altimeter
Alternatives considered
Implementation suggestion
The main issue is which ROS message type to target as these messages do not have a corresponding message in
sensor_msgs
.Additional context
Would be happy to submit a PR for this feature request once a suitable ROS message type is agree upon.
