[ros-users] Patch for stage simulator: setting the topics publishing rate according to the stage-model update_interval parameter

[Pablo Iñigo Blasco]

Hi!

Here I provide a patch that could be useful for some stageros users.

Stageros usually publishes information through some topics, among them:
odom, scan and base_ground_truth. However these topics publish information
in each simulation step. While it seems a right behavior for the
base_ground_truth information, the odom and scan topics should (IMHO)
publish information at the rate specified with the update_interval
stage-parameter in the stage-world-config file. In this way sensor rate are
well interfaced to the rest of the world nodes.

The patch have been applied over the current head file ---
src/stageros.cpp (revision
39760).

Regards.
