This directory represents a ROS package due to its internal structure and files. The files inside pubsub/pubsub/ are the Python scripts written by the package developer and can be called using the command line ros2 run pubsub <entry_point_name>. The <entry_point_name> has to be defined in setup.py.

Files

This section describes the content and purpose of the files inside this directory.
ros2 run callable files:

topic_talker.py : Example for creating a MinimumPublisher and sending topics
topic_listener.py : Example for creating a MinimumSubscriber and receiving topics
service_host.py : Example for creataing a MinimumServiceProvider and hosting a service
service_client.py : Example for creating a MinimumServiceClient and calling a service
statemachine_host_example.py : Example application of State Machine (SM) hosting a service to call for a change of state
statemachine_client_example.py : Example application of a service client calling for the change of SM state

Library files:

[pubsub_library ; pubsub_library_v2] : old versions
pubsub_library_v3 : Library containing
- MinimalPublisher class
- MinimalSubscriber class
- MinimalServiceProvider class
- MinimalServiceClient class

How to use

You can use the Minimal<X> classes in three ways:

Create Minimal<X> in your script (eg. topic_listener.py where data is echanged between the script environment and the class environment)
Implement Minimal<X> inside your device class the same way as implementing in your main script (<-- ToDo !!!)
Build device class upon Minimal<X> class (eg. statemachine_host_example.py where a device class is built upon the MinimalServiceProvider class) by implementing this structure

class Child_Class(Parent_Class):

For example:

class StateMachineCMDServiceProvider(MinimalServiceProvider):
