What it does

  • Discovers Enpose sensors on the local network and connects to the first compatible one, or connects directly to a sensor given by IP address.
  • Publishes each detected marker's pose as a PoseStamped message on a per-marker topic and as a TF transform.
  • Keeps retrying sensor discovery until a sensor is found instead of exiting.
  • Logs the average number of poses received per second every two seconds.
  • Uses reliable QoS for pose topics by default, with an option for best-effort on high-rate or lossy setups.
  • Estimates the offset between the sensor clock and ROS time to stamp each pose with its own capture time, or can use the ROS receive time instead.
