Hi @ajay1606! Thank you for your question. We currently have plans to support Galactic, but have not had a huge demand thus far so it has not been implemented yet. We have been working on some improvements and bug fixes with higher priority.
Please upvote this thread if you are in need of a ROS2 version that supports Galactic.
Thanks for your quick response, after a few workarounds, have been able to run novate_oem7_driver with ROS2 Galactic distribution without any issues. Confirmed data output without any issues.
I will report any issues are observed.
Regards, Ajay
Hey, what fixes did you do? Do you have a fork we could use? Thanks
Hello @Minipada
There are very few modifications performed to work in galactic distribution. Please note the following modification;
File:
/novatel_oem7_driver/src/oem7_message_node.cpp
Currently, with the above modification, there are no issues observed in getting data. Everything seems to be working fine.
Regards, Ajay
Hello @Minipada, thank you for contacting us. Please see our commit history to ROS1 branch for our most recent changes and fixes applied: https://github.com/novatel/novatel_oem7_driver/commits/ros1
Galactic is EOL soon, so efforts should probably focus on adding support for Humble - the next LTS release of ROS2.
Hello @jeremyroy, thank you for your input. We will put in our feature to work on backlog.
Novatel OEM7 driver build fails in recent ROS2 distribution (Galactic).
Has any plans to support newer distributions?
Regards Ajay
