custom field type for ROS msg
We're trying to read a radar udp packet and one of the data types is of a RadarDetection[] type which is not supported by ROS (because its a custom type) the size of each index is 224 bits, one solution Im thinking of is :
-creating a message that contains int64[4] RadarDetection_custom and then use that message as a field type to represent the RadarDetection type but with 256 bits instead 224
I am not confident that this solution will work and I was wondering if there is a better solution than this
Could you reformat your question with more punctuation and more information about the data you want to send? You should also check your numbers.
int64[3]
would only hold 192 bits, not 256, and where did "215" come from?Sorry I meant int64[4], and I reformatted the question to make it easier to read, the 215 bits is just the size of the field type that I am receiving from the radar's UDP packets, I dont know why the radar manufacturers made it like so
