This PR adds important support so that the units can use an external GPS input. I've talked with @CaptKrasno and am confident that the fork has been well tested for the external GPS use case.
I am not using the microstrain devices as frequently at this time, so setting up a test with hardware would take me some time. Can anyone test the fork in the standalone use cases to verify that the modifications are backward compatible?
@tonybaltovski Any chance you could give this PR a try with a standalone device to verify that all is well?
@bsb808 will do once I get some hardware.
any luck with the testing yet? Is there anything you would like me to do/test/try?
Thank you for the nudge.
I don't currently have convenient access to test the proposed changes on hardware. Ideally @tonybaltovski might be able to test and verify reverse compatibility.
Added support for external GPS input by allowing the microstrain_node to subscribe to gps topics. Also added example launch file for use with the ublox_gps ros node.
