Getting PPS NMEA time sync status #45

Closed hirenpatel1207 closed 1 year ago

hirenpatel1207 commented 1 year ago

I have an OS1-Rev7 sensor. We plan to use time sync via NMEA messaging the ouster guide mentions that we can check the sync status on the sensor via TCP command "get_time_info". https://static.ouster.dev/sensor-docs/gps_guide/gps_guide.html I was wondering how it can be achieved through ros interface. Is there any ROS service which can give this info?

Hi @hirenpatel1207, unfortunately, we don't have this information accessible via a ROS service currently. You can access it through the provided tcp interface as you mentioned. As an alternative I think you can access it via http requests to the sensor too.
