What it does

  • Provides ROS2 services to read and write IIO device, channel and context attributes by path.
  • Creates, refills, reads and writes IIO buffers, and can publish buffer data on ROS2 topics.
  • Scans an IIO context to list devices, channels and attributes as paths usable in other services.
  • Node takes a LibIIO context URI and a timeout as parameters; a launch file starts it.
  • Includes a Python script to plot published waveforms with matplotlib.
  • Requires ROS2 (example given: humble) and libiio v0, installable via rosdep or built from source.
