What it does

  • Lets you select a single node and edit its parameters in one window.
  • Groups parameters into a tree based on their prefix, separated by slashes.
  • The parameter tree can be filtered.
  • Launched with ros2 run rig_reconfigure rig_reconfigure.
  • Known issues: high CPU usage with non-hardware-accelerated OpenGL, as in VNC sessions, and vsync does not work there.
