The Topic Name

[omareldardear]

Hi again,

I knew that you have changed the topic name yesterday to be compatible with ROS2. Sorry for multiple requests.
I was thinking to correlate the name with the whole project.

I found that other teams name the topic with /packageName/TopicFunction. (e.g. /pem/environment) check https://github.com/aprilprojecteu/april_docs for more exact details. There are some relevant comments there.

Can you update the name again and update me regarding this point.

Thanks

Sure, we can change the name of the topic as needed. From our application we need to define a name for a ROS node, which in our case is APRIL done here and for the publisher, that so far it's being called output2ros here. From the yarp side we see this port as /edpr_april/output2ros+@/APRIL, not really sure how it's coming through ROS. So if you can let me know how do you want as to rename, we'll do it.
BTW, I don't have access to he aprilprojecteu repo.

It is /edpr_april/output2ros for the ROS side.
I checked the april_docs. I think your part is in ISIM package and the name of the topic is stated (as a placeholder i guess from the other partners) as /isim/neuromorphic_camera/data

so maybe instead of getName("/output2ros"), you can use " /isim/neuromorphic_camera/data" in here

For the access to aprilprojecteu, I think Yony can help. He is the one usually in contact with the responsible people.
There might be some relevant points as well you can find there for integration with other teams.
For example, I found that they point to parameters set and parameter get topics for the neuromorphic camera, also the messages types.

Thanks

Already changed /isim/neuromorphic_camera/data as requested.

@omareldardear you were right on the email you've sent regarding this. It is now fixed, and from the yarp side the topic name is seen as /isim/neuromorphic_camera/data+@/APRIL. Thanks!
