Change mag message type to sensor_msgs/MagneticField #72

Closed civerachb-cpr closed 3 years ago

civerachb-cpr commented 3 years ago

The mag sensor currently outputs std_msgs/Vector3Stamped messages, which have widely been replaced with sensor_msgs/MagneticField for the purposes of magnetometer sensors. It would be nice if the plugin could be updated to output messages in the new standard, or at least offer a parameter to switch to the new standard.

We will gladly accept a PR with a parameterized change of behavior to ensure backward compatibility!
