Rviz 2D alternative?
Hey there, I would like to use a 2D User Interface for ROS, does it exist? As far as I'm concerned, rviz is the only there is (because gazebo/stage are simulators). Why do I want to use something else than rviz? Mainly, because even specifying the topic of the data (position, laser ranging, speed control), it doesn't recognize it. From the troubleshooting page from RVIZ I found out I have to include my data into a tf, something that sounds very complicated and (maybe) unnecessary.
Is there any way out? And if there's not, any tutorials on how to turn my data/topic into a tf?
Cheers,
Update: On a nutshell, what I'm doing is fairly simple: 3 different cases of sending data through topics in ROS (one topic). I have a task_talker and a task_listener (based on the tutorial codes, just modifying the type of messages sent). Task_talker publishes the parameter into the topic and task_listener subscribes to it. The different tasks are as follows (with its parameters):
- Position sending using geometry_msgs/Pose2D
- Laser ranging sending using sensor_msgs/LaserScan
- Speed Control using geometry_msgs/Twist.
I would post the code as well, but it also includes a different OS from ROS that would only further confuse readers.
