Hi all,
I am having some trouble with getting parameters from a launch file.
The same bit of code worked well with a node driver, but when i
switched to a nodelet driver, it fails. I am running on Ubuntu 10.10,
ros unstable.
Here are some more details:
I have the following bit of code running to get a parameter:
ros::NodeHandle nh_private ("~");
if (!nh_private.getParam ("enable_IMU_CALCDATA", enable_IMU_CALCDATA_))
enable_IMU_CALCDATA_ = false;
When I run that code with a node driver, everything works fine. I use
the following launch file:
<node name="autopilot" pkg="asctec_autopilot" type="autopilot_node"
respawn="false" required="true" output="screen">
<param name="enable_IMU_CALCDATA" type="bool" value="true"/>
</node>
However, when I run the code with a nodelet driver, it fails to check
the param, and assumes the default (false) value. This is the launch
file for the nodelet:
<node pkg="nodelet" type="nodelet" name="pelican_manager"
args="manager" output="screen" />
<node pkg="nodelet" type="nodelet" name="AutoPilotNodelet"
args="load asctec_autopilot/AutoPilotNodelet pelican_manager"
output="screen">
<param name="enable_IMU_CALCDATA" type="bool" value="true"/>
</node>
Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks,
Ivan Dryanovski
