2.0.0 (2025-01-16)

  • clearpath_generator_common/clearpath_generator_common/zenoh_router/generator.py (#146)

  • Use the .profile field for the Zenoh router config; don’t add a new variable just for that (#143)

  • Catch the new unsupported platform/accessory exceptions raised by the generator so the tests pass, use the envar when setting the default value of ROS_DISTRO (#104) Co-authored-by: Tony Baltovski <tbaltovski@clearpathrobotics.com>

  • Add Zenoh support (#138) * Add generator for zenoh router service script * Add the ZENOH_ROUTER_CONFIG_URI envar to the generated bash file, populated with either the default path or the user-specified one as needed

This lets us control the gazebo topics. Fix the GZ topic names. Camera data is now visible in the simulation * Add joint controllers for the pan & tilt actuators. This provides velocity control over the simulated camera

  • Add a placeholer URDF for the AMP mount, update meshes (#123) * Add a placeholer URDF for the AMP mount; STL & final dimensions to come at a later date * Default to treaded wheels, flip all the wheel models so the treads visually go in the correct direction * Update the top plate, chassis, livery, smooth wheel, and status light meshes. Closes CPE87-2102 * Catch unsupported platforms/accessories in vcan generation tests

  • Update simulation support for Jazzy (#117) * Rename gazebo plugins to use new gz nomenclature instead of ign/ignition. Use stamped velocity messages. * Restructure the twist_mux yaml file to be more legible, remove the parameters that are overwritten by the launch file anyway * Put use_stamped back just for the sake of being explicit. Add use_stamped directly to the launch file * Fix the tests to catch unsupported platforms & accessories

  • Fix the discovery server to use the new path too

  • Create ros module to contain default distro & default setup.bash path to make updating distributions easier

  • Contributors: Chris Iverach-Brereton, Luis Camero, Roni Kreinin, Tony Baltovski, luis-camero

  • Remove all references to clearpath_platform

  • Add support for Axis cameras (#113) * Add axis camera URDFs & meshes * Fix the path for the meshes * Add the AxisCameraDescription class * Remove the axis_camera files, add a dependency on axis_description. Add a new meta-macro that uses the camera type * Use the device_type to set the model for the new description macro * Add the update_rate to the URDF * Add default topic for the URDF * Remove the update_rate parameter; it’s not supported by axis_camera * Add the update_rate parameter back to the meta macro, but don’t pass it * Add the axis camera URDFs & STLs from axis_description, use the local copies instead of having an external dependency * Add RGBA values for the “black” material, rename it to avoid conflicting with any other material definitions

  • Add UR arm (#110)

  • VCAN Rework (#112) * VCan service script generator * Use formatted strings to shorten line length and expose variables
