driver_common: driver_base | timestamp_tools

Stack Summary

The driver_common stack contains classes and tools that are useful throughout the driver stacks. It currently contains:

  • dynamic_reconfigure: A dynamic reconfiguration system to allow node parameters to be changed without restarting the node.
  • driver_base: A base class for sensors to provide a consistent state machine (retries, error handling, etc.) and interface.
  • timestamp_tools: Classes to help timestamp hardware events.

Stability

This stack is currently in a very immature state. Except where explicitly indicated, it should be expected that APIs and tools will change without notice.

New in Electric: the dynamic_reconfigure package (formerly part of this stack) became a separate stack.
