Hello, I am new in ROS, and now I have made a publisher that publish the data from an IMU connected to an arduino... but I would really would like to store this data, how can i do this in ros? roslogs, rosbags, mongod(warehouse)? I cannot find the answer in any place. I would really appreciate your orientation
You can use rosbags to save the data published in different topics (and play it later). You will find more informations here and here. The main command line you need to know is
rosbag record imu_data
where imu_data is the name of your IMU topic.
if you want to access your data outside ROS you can use
rostopic echo -b file.bag -p /topic > data.txt
This method works well for simple message formats and will redirect your data to a text file.
Thank you for your answer, I have done this: "rosbag record imu_data", but when I open the file it is unreadable, I can play it again but what I really want to do is see it as plain text, see the values and this can not be done with rosbag because it like a binary file. will this be solved with the
You can use rostopic echo -b file.bag -p /topic > data.txt as I explained before to export your data to a text file (or to a csv format if you prefer -> data.csv).
When I use that command I received the following message: ERROR: unable to use bag file: Unindexed bag
This is a rosbag problem, just refer to this page or try to do another rosbag record
