Hi, I want to have a dynamic reconfigure server in my node, but I would like some of the parameters to default to infinity (instead of just a very large value). Is this possible?

Thanks!

Nobody knows whether this is possible?

Well Python does support infinity (use float("inf")), but I'm not sure what that will do with dynamic_reconfigure if you configure it as the default for a field. Also: I'm not sure that is a valid value for sliders fi.

You mean to write in the .cfgfloat("inf")? That is my question about, what about sliders, and also upper and lower bounds. I think it is not possible but just wanted to be sure. Probably the only way of doing this is to set an additional flag as "inifinity_param1" or something like that.

You can try and see what happens. About a year ago I opened an issue for a rqt-reconfigure agnostic double editor that would be useful to many rqt plugins. So far no dev time has been spent on it.
