I realize this thread is old, but what is the reason you can still do this->create_publisher<std_msgs::msg::String

I did not know that! Thanks!

Ah, so when you do 'auto foo', is 'foo' of the std::vector<int64_t> type? Or is 'foo' of the rclcpp::Parameter typ

This shows how to declare the parameter. But how would you get a param holding a vector using the 'get_parameter' syntax

I've run into this issue as well, and have not figured out a way to solve it yet. Though in my case, even having two sub

I recently stumbled across the forward_command_controller/ForwardCommandController ros controller while doing some research online. From the documentation, it seems that it can take multiple joints as input and simply forwards them over to the hardware interface node. But how is that different than what the position_controllers/JointGroupPositionController does for positions? Or the velocity_controllers/JointGroupVelocityController does for velocities, etc?

It seems like there is some redundancy here, and according to the controller documentation, the above controllers even use the forward command controller behind the scenes. This question applies to both ros1 and ros2.

In the ROS2 tutorials located at https://docs.ros.org/en/foxy/Tutorial..., the 'default_value' within the 'DeclareLaunchArgument' directive is assigned to TextSubstitution(text='0') or similar.

My question is why that is necessary. Can't you just do default_value='0'? It seems to work without the TextSubstitution directive.

Thanks

So if you're not planning on concatenating the LaunchArgument with something else - but just passing it to parameters wi

Instead of calling them 'parameters', it would be better to call them launch file arguments. What I imagine the question

Ran into this exact issue today and following the solution from @trueckel solved it for me!! Thanks!

I'm still not sure I understand the difference between the two. Shouldn't the same hold true by a ros 2 publisher? Inst
