Stopping ROS timer python
I want a timer to run for a short time to calculate something but then i want to be able to stop it. I see where it says to use shutdown() but it doesn't like that. Help would be appreciated. if shutdown() is correct could you please put an example of it working.

(late to this question but I came here looking for an example of shutdown() so adding an answer for future visitors)
The Timer class has a shutdown method which needs to be called, like you'd call the method of any class of which you've an object.
could you please put an example of it working.
timer_object = rospy.Timer(rospy.Duration(2), some_callback_function)
#
# do whatever you want to do before calling shutdown
#
timer_object.shutdown()
