Best practice to extract recorded data from ros2 bag dumps?

Currently I am working on my university project with ROS2 with a small model car. I am implementing and debugging a local planner module. For my documentation I want to plot the driven path and generated trajectories (e.g. with matplotlib).

I have both in ROS2 messages which I dumped via ros2 bag ... to a sqlite database binary.

I was googling a lot and found https://github.com/eurogroep/rosbag_p... which relies on ROS1 python bindings. Is it possible to open my sq3 file with this library? Do I have to install melodic along my current dashing?

Is there a way to convert/export the messages to a non--binary format like csv (where the messages are already deserialized)?

Thank you for your advice and clarifying my confusion in my head.

TLDR; How to use ros2 bag dump data in other tools?

I am interested in the answer too. Have you seen this thread?

Thank you for the link! It is exactly what I wanted but somewhat hidden from the point of view of a ROS/ROS2 beginner ...

In the end I had to write my own message_recorder-node which subscribes to topics I was interested in and records them together with a timestamp to a file ...

Since the data is in sqlite3 format, why not just use standard tools? This page describes how to do it. sqlitebrowser is another interactive tool.

Thank you very much for pointing that out. However, If I understand correctly the data exported in the way you described will still be serialized. The question asks for a way to export to deserialized messages. Is there a way to achieve this with sqlite3?

Hello, I have the same issue, did you manage to solve it without installing ROS melodic?
