What it does

  • Provides logging from QML that reports the originating QML file and line, with adjustable logger levels.
  • Offers publishers, subscriptions, image transport subscriptions, service clients, action clients and TF transform lookups.
  • Can subscribe to any topic and message type available on the system, without knowing the type at compile time.
  • Supports querying topics, services and actions, and the Ament index.
  • Includes an example turtle control interface in the examples folder, built with TF and a velocity publisher.
  • Can be built as part of a ROS 2 workspace, or installed globally by setting the GLOBAL_INSTALL CMake option.
