…sage to sensor messages IMU messages to beused by the madgwick fusion ros package

…ublished message

It looks like the CHANGELOG.rst files and copyright/license headers were deleted. Please restore these.

Looks like a lot of files were MIT's old version. It'll be great if we could only included necessary changes.

vesc/package.xml

vesc_ackermann/CMakeLists.txt

This looks like an older version too?

hzheng40 · 2023-04-11T16:15:32Z

Another comment is that in the ros2 branch, the imu msg is published by the vesc_driver instead of a separate wrapper. Is there any reason for this change?
Also, I would remove all the madgwick filter related code since that's not necessary for publishing the IMU msg.

VineetTambe · 2023-04-11T19:38:25Z

In the case of this noetic branch -
The vesc_driver still publishes the imu message as published by the original package (no change there).
The separate wrapper is to convert the vesc_imu_msg to the standard sensor_msgs::Imu structure in order for the madgwick filter to consume it.
I will remove those from the repo and keep them in a separate custom branch on my fork.

VineetTambe · 2023-04-11T19:45:48Z

Additionally, I wanted to ask can we update our names in the list of authors in the package.xml?

VineetTambe · 2023-04-11T21:07:17Z

I have reverted all the unnecessary changes to what was there originally. I am not sure what happened there. Please take a look and let me know if there are any more changes.

VineetTambe · 2023-04-20T19:57:34Z

Following up on this.
Could you let me know if the changes are acceptable??
Or if any other changes are necessary?

Why did you split all of these out? <depend> is perfectly valid for Noetic.

Will fix and push the updates!

Remove unused code. git will keep the history and commenting out unused sections just leads to confusion.

Several of these changes are breaking changes (removing existing parameters and renaming others). This means a new major version would have to be released. Not that I won't do it, just giving you a heads-up.

I will take a closer look and run some fixes for the noetic branch!
Thanks for the feedback! Very helpful to have another set of eyes on the code!

VineetTambe · 2023-08-23T17:15:25Z

Update:
I have resolved all the concerns highlighted and the Branch should be good to go.
However, instead of merging into "'main" I propose creating a new "noetic" branch.
This should prevent any breaking changes as highlighted here from causing any problems to others!

I am not sure how to go about creating a new branch in the base repo - could you help me out with that by creating a new branch named noetic from main and pushing it upsteam - so that I can edit the PR to merge into the new noetic branch?
