Like get_parameters(), this method may throw the rclcpp::exceptions::ParameterNotDeclaredException exception if the requested parameter has not been declared and undeclared parameters are not allowed. Return a vector of parameter types, one for each of the given names. Get the value of a parameter by the given name, and return true if it was set. B) If not, why not? In ROS2, there doesn't seem to be a way to check if a parameter exists directly without attempting to get the value of the parameter. This method will never throw the rclcpp::exceptions::ParameterNotDeclaredException exception, but will instead return false if the parameter has not be previously declared. But how would you get a param holding a vector using the 'get_parameter' syntax? We recently merged this feature (made by @ayrton04), see: Looks like there's no documentation yet, but there is an example of setting: And you can use get_parameter(s) to get the rclcpp::Parameter for it, and on that class there are as_*_array() methods: Is there a way to achieve this by just using this->declare_parameter("foo", 15.0); Note, this method cannot return a const reference, because extending the lifetime of a temporary only works recursively with member initializers, and cannot be extended to members of a class returned. I'm not following what feature you are looking for here. The syntax has been getting easier over time. If the callback prevents the parameter from being set, then it will be reflected in the SetParametersResult that is returned, but no exception will be thrown. The rclcpp::QoS has several convenient constructors, including a conversion constructor for size_t, which mimics older API's that allows just a string and size_t to create a publisher. The name of the parameter to be undeclared. rclcpp::Node::add_on_set_parameter_callback(), https://github.com/ros/robot_state_publisher/blob/b6fbbd0a821c14d6ea34f83bcab93c77358caeef/src/robot_state_publisher.cpp#L159-L161. Yes, that is the default. if any of the parameters have not been declared and undeclared parameters are not allowed. Return the Node's internal NodeClockInterface implementation. rcl_interfaces::msg::ParameterDescriptor rclcpp::Node::describe_parameter, if the number of described parameters is more than one. We may not have that API yet, but we can certainly add it or whatever the appropriate alternative is. Please start posting anonymously - your entry will be published after you log in or create a new account. This method will result in any callback registered with add_on_set_parameters_callback to be called. We don't have it in the demos but there are tests covering it you can use as an example, here. Assuming argument is name of URDF file.This backwards compatibility fallback will be removed in the future. What I would consider doing here is the following: I think the above should give you the behavior you want. But I'm running into cases where a driver will adjust parameters that have been set, based on rules that are either too complex to reasonably encode, or are not documented at all. Note: in this particular case the driver SDK immediately returns the adjusted value which simplifies the logic. Return a map of existing topic names to list of topic types. And you can use get_parameter (s) to get the rclcpp::Parameter for it, and on that class there are as_*_array () methods: https://github.com/ros2/rclcpp/blob/a. Return the effective namespace that is used when creating entities. Return the Node's internal NodeTopicsInterface implementation. The latter, one parameter name, which is why I figured get_parameters wouldn't work. The output storage for the parameter being retrieved. Return the Node's internal NodeLoggingInterface implementation. And by seeing the example in the documentation, we could conclude that the on set parameter callback could only filter an invalid parameter by rejecting it. Return the Node's internal NodeParametersInterface implementation. I did not know about the asynchronous on_parameter_event. ", then the resulting parameter names will be like "foo..key". if the allocation of the OnSetParametersCallbackHandle fails. Could you copy the code? rcl_interfaces::msg::SetParametersResult rclcpp::Node::set_parameters_atomically. For example, all of these cases will work: The publisher options may optionally be passed as the third argument for any of the above cases. @clalancette i updated my feature description. The order of the callback is the reverse from the registration order. This version will take a map where the value is a pair, with the default parameter value as the first item and a parameter descriptor as the second. As explained in the add_on_set_parameters_callback() documentation: The callback signature is designed to allow handling of any of the above set_parameter* or declare_parameter* methods, and so it takes a const reference to a vector of parameters to be set, and returns an instance of rcl_interfaces::msg::SetParametersResult to indicate whether or not the parameter should be set or not, and if not why. See the non-templated declare_parameter() on this class for details. Like set_parameter, if any of the parameters to be set have not first been declared, and undeclared parameters are not allowed (the default), then this method will throw rclcpp::exceptions::ParameterNotDeclaredException. In ROS 2, this interface had to become more complex to cope with a larger set of configuration options, an ambiguity in remapping rules and parameter assignment syntax (as a result of the leading underscore name convention for hidden resources), a one-to-many relationship between executables and nodes, to name a few. If ignore_override is true, the parameter override will be ignored. To avoid this, use the declare_parameter() method which returns an rclcpp::ParameterValue instead. This method will never throw the rclcpp::exceptions::ParameterNotDeclaredException exception because the action of listing the parameters is done atomically with getting the values, and therefore they are only listed if already declared and cannot be undeclared before being retrieved. Callback group to execute this timer's callback in. The name expansion is naive, so if you set the namespace to be "foo. It looks like the documentation is not complete. The problem is that I don't think we can have function signatures with both const and non-const (C++ doesn't know which one to call). If you want to do more the descriptions are valuable. Sorry I thought you wanted to list multiple parameters. Wrap rclcpp::Node with basic Lifecycle behavior? It worked, but kinda be a tricky solution and a bad habit as the parameters was implicitly stated to be constant. Parameters are set in the order they are given within the input vector. Like the templated get_parameter() variant, this method will attempt to coerce the parameter values into the type requested by the given template argument, which may fail and throw an exception. The official animated diagram explaining the service . link Comments Is there a way to achieve this by just using this->declare_parameter<float> ("foo", 15.0); this->get_parameter ("foo", foo); syntax? Note that entities which use absolute names are not affected by any namespaces, neither the normal node namespace nor any sub-namespace. . The name and type in the given rcl_interfaces::msg::ParameterDescriptor are ignored, and should be specified using the name argument to this function and the default value's type instead. For note, I'm already tried to solve the problem with const casting the parameters to std::vector &. In either case, the resulting value is returned, whether or not it is based on the default value or the user provided initial value. It will provide an API that can atomically update a set of values such that if any of the values fail validation, none of the values are set. The given Event must be acquire through the get_graph_event() method. I am also working on some improvements right now so that you can have read-only parameters. If undeclared parameters are allowed, then a default initialized descriptor will be returned. If the callback prevents the parameters from being set, then it will be reflected in the SetParametersResult which is returned, but no exception will be thrown. For instance the frame rate of a camera depends on the exposure time, the model-dependent camera dead time, the link bandwidth, etc etc. Return the parameter descriptor for the given parameter name. Wait for a graph event to occur by waiting on an Event to become set. Like the version of get_parameter() which returns a bool, this method will not throw the rclcpp::exceptions::ParameterNotDeclaredException exception. Given a list of parameter names, it will request an update of the values subject to validation of the values. Return the topic endpoint information about publishers on a given topic. A) Is there a way to check if a parameter exists that I'm missing B) If not, why not? Return the NodeOptions used when creating this node. If undeclared parameters are allowed, then the default type rclcpp::ParameterType::PARAMETER_NOT_SET will be returned. To get that you need to call the get_effective_namespace() method. Example for changing the values on the command line: ros2 run examples_rclcpp_cbg_executor ping_pong --ros-args -p ping_period:=0.033 -p high_busyloop:=0.025. If the value type of the parameter is rclcpp::PARAMETER_NOT_SET, and the existing parameter type is something else, then the parameter will be implicitly undeclared. parameter /position -> [1.0, 1.0, 0.0])? Anyway, more information here on what you are trying to do (including a code example) would be most helpful. Well occasionally send you account related emails. When the no_mangle parameter is false, the provided topic_name should follow ROS topic name conventions. For each key in the map, a parameter with a name of "namespace.key" will be set to the value in the map. With parameters you can already change the configuration of the node at runtime. And is the documentation 2years later still missing? The output where the value of the parameter should be assigned. For the slightly different case than what @tfoote linked to, here's how to get a single parameter as an array of values. Yes that's exactly what i means, as described by @clalancette. Ah, I see where the disconnect is now. rcl_interfaces::msg::SetParametersResult rclcpp::Node::set_parameter. Here's the pull request: https://github.com/ros2/rclcpp/pull/495 , it was originally started by Shane, but I'm trying to resurrect it right now. Get value of parameter using rclcpp::ParameterType as template argument. In this case, how do you provide feedback that the parameter has been adjusted (e.g. [ROS2] What's the best way to wait for a new message? Even a std::clamp inside the on_set_parameter_callback won't work as the parameter itself is immutable. template, template, template, template. Delete a handler returned by add_on_set_parameters_callback. The callbacks added with add_on_set_parameters_callback are stored in a different place. The updated values can include unsetting the value. If the callback prevents the parameter from being set, then, as mentioned before, it will be reflected in the corresponding SetParametersResult that is returned, but no exception will be thrown. But after that, any change to any parameter won't be taken into account. starts with a leading '/'. The returned namespace is a concatenation of the node namespace and the accumulated sub-namespaces, which is used as the namespace when creating entities which have relative names. to your account. But after that, any change to any parameter won't be taken into account. Support pre-set and post-set parameter callbacks in addition to on-set-parameter-callback. topic_name may be a relative, private, or fully qualified topic name. The fully-qualified name includes the local namespace and name of the node. if the parameter has not been declared and undeclared parameters are not allowed. the only things that could be done during on_set_parameter_callback is rejecting an invalid parameter. For instance the frame rate of a camera depends on the exposure time, the model-dependent camera dead time, the link bandwidth, etc etc. There are two different things here: My suggestion for now is to implement the first one. If the parameter has not been declared, it will not attempt to coerce the value into the requested type, as it is known that the type is not set. Return the Node's internal NodeWaitablesInterface implementation. Set one or more parameters, one at a time. Note that the callback is called when declare_parameter() and its variants are called, and so you cannot assume the parameter has been set before this callback, so when checking a new value against the existing one, you must account for the case where the parameter is not yet set. https://github.com/ros2/rclcpp/blob/r Ah, so when you do 'auto foo', is 'foo' of the std::vector type? Remove a callback registered with add_on_set_parameters_callback. It consists of these main components: Node rclcpp::Node rclcpp/node.hpp Publisher rclcpp::Node::create_publisher () rclcpp::Publisher rclcpp::Publisher::publish () rclcpp/publisher.hpp Subscription rclcpp::Node::create_subscription () I'm sorry, I haven't reached this thread for a while. Create a sub-node, which will extend the namespace of all entities created with it. When I've used this in the past, I've always had a separate member variable internal to the class that I set. That means that we'd have to change the signature of the parameter callbacks again. Declare and initialize a parameter, return the effective value. The name of the parameter to check for being declared. If you don't do that, you won't be able to access it and you'll get an error instead (rclcpp::exceptions::ParameterNotDeclaredException). Return the Node's internal NodeBaseInterface implementation. In this case, how do you provide feedback that the parameter has been adjusted (e.g. the topic_name on which to find the subscriptions. The returned parameter is a list of topic endpoint information, where each item will contain the node name, node namespace, topic type, endpoint type, topic endpoint's GID, and its QoS profile. @William That's what I wanted to know. Support for pre-set and post-set parameter callback. The parameters to set in the given namespace. If the parameter has not been declared this function may throw the rclcpp::exceptions::ParameterNotDeclaredException exception, but only if the node was not created with the rclcpp::NodeOptions::allow_undeclared_parameters set to true. The text was updated successfully, but these errors were encountered: But considered the following scenario, i have a parameter that only accept the double value of 0.0 to 100.0. if i set the parameter with double value between 0.0 to 100.0, then it would be fine. See get_sub_namespace() and get_effective_namespace() for examples. Get the fully-qualified names of all available nodes. The returned reference will remain valid until the parameter is undeclared. Right, thanks for the feedback. But if you need to use get_parameter, it looks like that isn't possible right now. rcl_interfaces::msg::ListParametersResult rclcpp::Node::list_parameters. Here is a simple way to declare and get a vector of integers in Galactic: This shows how to declare the parameter. If that callback prevents the initial value for any parameter from being set then rclcpp::exceptions::InvalidParameterValueException is thrown. This may be done by using this method, create_sub_node(). For the more general case of being able to modify the parameters while in the parameter callback, what you propose would indeed work. Undeclare a previously declared parameter. Considered the following scenario, i have a parameter that should only accept the double value of 0.0 to 100.0. if i set the parameter with double value between 0.0 to 100.0, then it would be fine. When the no_mangle parameter is true, the provided topic_name should be a valid topic name for the middleware (useful when combining ROS with native middleware (e.g. or what if i accidently set the parameter using an integer value of 50? Add a callback for when parameters are being set. get_value () [2/2] template<typename T > decltype (auto) rclcpp::Parameter::get_value ( ) const inline Get value of parameter using c++ types as template argument. Return a map of existing service names to list of service types. The callback may introspect other already set parameters (by calling any of the {get,list,describe}_parameter() methods), but may not modify other parameters (by calling any of the {set,declare}_parameter() methods) or modify the registered callback itself (by calling the add_on_set_parameters_callback() method). More Node is the single point of entry for creating publishers and subscribers. rclcpp::node_interfaces::OnSetParametersCallbackHandle, rclcpp::node_interfaces::NodeParametersInterface::OnParametersSetCallbackType, rclcpp::Node::OnParametersSetCallbackType, rclcpp::Node::OnSetParametersCallbackHandle, rclcpp::exceptions::InvalidParameterValueException, rclcpp::exceptions::ParameterAlreadyDeclaredException, rclcpp::exceptions::InvalidParametersException, rclcpp::exceptions::InvalidParameterTypeException, https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/language/lifetime, https://herbsutter.com/2008/01/01/gotw-88-a-candidate-for-the-most-important-const/, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uQyT-5iWUow, rclcpp::exceptions::ParameterNotDeclaredException, rclcpp::exceptions::ParameterImmutableException, rclcpp::NodeOptions::allow_undeclared_parameters, rclcpp::exceptions::ParameterModifiedInCallbackException, rclcpp::node_interfaces::NodeClock::get_clock, template, typename PublisherT = rclcpp::Publisher>, template, typename CallbackMessageT = typename rclcpp::subscription_traits::has_message_type::type, typename SubscriptionT = rclcpp::Subscription, typename MessageMemoryStrategyT = rclcpp::message_memory_strategy::MessageMemoryStrategy< CallbackMessageT, AllocatorT >>, template, rcl_interfaces::msg::ListParametersResult, Wait for a graph event to occur by waiting on an, rclcpp::node_interfaces::NodeBaseInterface::SharedPtr, rclcpp::node_interfaces::NodeClockInterface::SharedPtr, rclcpp::node_interfaces::NodeGraphInterface::SharedPtr, rclcpp::node_interfaces::NodeLoggingInterface::SharedPtr, rclcpp::node_interfaces::NodeTimersInterface::SharedPtr, rclcpp::node_interfaces::NodeTopicsInterface::SharedPtr, rclcpp::node_interfaces::NodeServicesInterface::SharedPtr, rclcpp::node_interfaces::NodeWaitablesInterface::SharedPtr, rclcpp::node_interfaces::NodeParametersInterface::SharedPtr, rclcpp::node_interfaces::NodeTimeSourceInterface::SharedPtr. A relative or private topic will be expanded using this node's namespace and name. const rcl_interfaces::msg::ParameterDescriptor &. With these values, about (0.033s - 0.025s) / 0.010s = 80% of the ping messages on the low prio path should be processed and . The default values are 0.01 seconds for all three parameters. The callback to be called when the value for a parameter is about to be set. That way you wouldn't even have to write a parameter callback to accomplish this. the namespace of the node associated with the name. Return true if a given parameter is declared. And why would someone want to modify the parameters during on set parameter callback? The names of the parameters to be retrieved. How ROS 2 params work ROS 2 nodes first declare the parameters they can accept (1), then read the parameter values passed to them during startup - via the command line interface (2) or a YAML configuration file (3) - to determine their behavior. If the parameter was not declared, then the output argument for this method which is called "parameter" will not be assigned a value. An empty string for the prefix will match all parameters. Let me know if you need any help with it, and I can provide a few more pointers. Return the Node's internal NodeServicesInterface implementation. If a callback tries to do any of the latter things, rclcpp::exceptions::ParameterModifiedInCallbackException will be thrown. None of these commands work: As for setting the range between 0 and 100.0; to me, it seems non-sensical to set a range, and then to ignore that range and clamp it. Like set_parameter() this method will implicitly undeclare parameters with the type rclcpp::PARAMETER_NOT_SET. In the case for the camera FPS, if the hardware only supports up to 100 Hz, but the parameter input was 1000 Hz (or negative), reject it at this stage. Or is 'foo' of the rclcpp::Parameter type? How can I build deb packages from ROS2 Bouncy Bolson packages? If undeclared parameters are allowed, then the parameter is implicitly declared with the default parameter meta data before being set. The messages exchanged are used using the original messages created earlier.. Set the given parameters, one at a time, and then return result of each set action. rclcpp::Event::SharedPtr rclcpp::Node::get_graph_event, rclcpp::Clock::SharedPtr rclcpp::Node::get_clock, rclcpp::Clock::ConstSharedPtr rclcpp::Node::get_clock, rclcpp::node_interfaces::NodeBaseInterface::SharedPtr rclcpp::Node::get_node_base_interface, rclcpp::node_interfaces::NodeClockInterface::SharedPtr rclcpp::Node::get_node_clock_interface, rclcpp::node_interfaces::NodeGraphInterface::SharedPtr rclcpp::Node::get_node_graph_interface, rclcpp::node_interfaces::NodeLoggingInterface::SharedPtr rclcpp::Node::get_node_logging_interface, rclcpp::node_interfaces::NodeTimersInterface::SharedPtr rclcpp::Node::get_node_timers_interface, rclcpp::node_interfaces::NodeTopicsInterface::SharedPtr rclcpp::Node::get_node_topics_interface, rclcpp::node_interfaces::NodeServicesInterface::SharedPtr rclcpp::Node::get_node_services_interface, rclcpp::node_interfaces::NodeWaitablesInterface::SharedPtr rclcpp::Node::get_node_waitables_interface, rclcpp::node_interfaces::NodeParametersInterface::SharedPtr rclcpp::Node::get_node_parameters_interface, rclcpp::node_interfaces::NodeTimeSourceInterface::SharedPtr rclcpp::Node::get_node_time_source_interface, rclcpp::Node::SharedPtr rclcpp::Node::create_sub_node. See also: Declare and initialize several parameters with the same namespace and type. From reading a long issue involving some 2 booleans with undeclared_auto_param_something_something and another boolean I just got that you always should declare your params, but this example doesn't do that? remove_on_set_parameters_callback(scoped_callback.get()). The returned smart pointer can be promoted to a shared version. Register a callback to be called anytime a parameter is about to be changed. RvizQt, 11, gazebo This method, if successful, will result in any callback registered with add_on_set_parameters_callback to be called, once for each parameter. Set the given parameters, all at one time, and then aggregate result. A sub-node (short for subordinate node) is an instance of this class which has been created using an existing instance of this class, but which has an additional sub-namespace (short for subordinate namespace) associated with it. Please start posting anonymously - your entry will be published after you log in or create a new account. The callback signature is designed to allow handling of any of the above set_parameter* or declare_parameter* methods, and so it takes a const reference to a vector of parameters to be set, and returns an instance of rcl_interfaces::msg::SetParametersResult to indicate whether or not the parameter should be set or not, and if not why. If the names vector is empty, then an empty vector will be returned. you tried setting the frame rate to 40fps, but the driver knocked it back down to 33.7fps)? wouldn't it be better if i could accept it in condition that the parameter value is clamped to 100.0? The return value of this class is a copy of the member of a ParameterValue which is returned by the other version of declare_parameter(). I don't think anyone is currently working on this, so help here would be appreciated. But I'm running into cases where a driver will adjust parameters that have been set, based on rules that are either too complex to reasonably encode, or are not documented at all. There's get_parameters() one line above which takes a vector of names and returns a vector of ParameterVariants. By clicking Sign up for GitHub, you agree to our terms of service and See the simpler declare_parameters() on this class for more details. There's no reason I'm aware of that we don't have that function, probably just haven't needed it yet. Wouldn't it be better if i could accept it in condition that the parameter type to be casted to double value?. The problem with const reference is we cannot modify the value of the parameters to be set inside the on set parameter callback. This will result in a parameter event indicating that the parameter was deleted. Maybe I can add an "exists" or "has" or "is_declared" like function at the same time. privacy statement. You can see that the SetParametersResult is a boolean flag for success and an optional reason that can be used in error reporting when it fails. We didn't provide the specific API to check if a parameter exists. By default, when an instance of this class is created using one of the public constructors, it has no sub-namespace associated with it, and therefore is not a sub-node. wouldn't it be better if i could accept it in condition that the parameter value is clamped to 100.0? ( rclcpp callback parameter version for Cpp) Initialization Starter code What happens if you change a parameter with no callback Add an rclpy parameter callback The code Testing - get all modified params and print them Update class attributes in callback Remove parameters callback Process data inside the rclpy callback Execute an action If that callback prevents the initial value for the parameter from being set then rclcpp::exceptions::InvalidParameterValueException is thrown. Like get_parameters(), this method may throw the rclcpp::exceptions::ParameterNotDeclaredException exception if any of the requested parameters have not been declared and undeclared parameters are not allowed. joint_state_publisher_guirobot_state_publisher: joint_state_publisher_guijoint_state_publisherjoint_state_publisher_guiURDF , robot_state_publisher, robot_descriptionparameters. And lastly if you just use the return code you can integrate the fallback behavior inside your accessing logic. The queried topic_name is not remapped. read_only will be false. There are many ways to get that information. We also support arrays of primatives. const char* rclcpp::Node::get_fully_qualified_name, rclcpp::CallbackGroup::SharedPtr rclcpp::Node::create_callback_group. This method will not cause a callback registered with add_on_set_parameters_callback to be called. Node is the single point of entry for creating publishers and subscribers. This method is used to declare that a parameter exists on this node. Some constraints like read_only are enforced before the callback is called. The returned sub-namespace is either the accumulated sub-namespaces which were given to one-to-many create_sub_node() calls, or an empty string if this is an original node instance, i.e. if the requested type does not match the value of the parameter which is stored. Basically there is no way to write a good validator. Parameters can be integers, floating point numbers, booleans, string, or arrays of the previous types. Return the list of callback groups in the node. Which return vector<T>. In this ROS2 tutorial I will show you how to use an rclcpp parameter callback, so you can dynamically change parameters' values while a node is alive. With the current callback, it is entirely possible to clamp a value as you set it. Otherwise, the parameter names and values will be stored in the map and true will be returned to indicate "values" was mutated. rclcpp parameter callback Going further with ROS2 params Setup code and declare ROS2 params with rclcpp Before you use a ROS2 param in your Cpp code, you must declare it. If you pass multiple rclcpp::Parameter instances with the same name, then only the last one in the vector (forward iteration) will be set. Neither is hacking it the way I currently do by starting a timer inside the parameter callback handler to defer the modification of the parameter: So I would say that this case is probably beyond the scope of what a set_parameter_callback() can do (at least, in the current design). For removing it, use set_on_parameters_set_callback(nullptr). Also like get_parameters(), if undeclared parameters are allowed and the parameter has not been declared, then the corresponding rclcpp::Parameter will be default initialized and therefore have the type rclcpp::ParameterType::PARAMETER_NOT_SET. so basically, there's no way that allows a node to modify the parameters that will be set during the on_set_parameter_callback. Or in this example how come that the parameter doesn't need to be declared? remove_on_set_parameters_callback can't be used with the callbacks registered with this method. Sign up for a free GitHub account to open an issue and contact its maintainers and the community. i have a parameter that should only accept the double value of 0.0 to 100.0, but what if i accidently set the parameter to be 101.0. i guess that is the setter's responsibility, since setter sets the parameter which is out of range? Currently the rclcpp::Node::add_on_set_parameter_callback() only support callback of rcl_interfaces::msg::SetParametersResult callback(const std::vector ¶meters). There is another overload which takes the std::pair with the default value and descriptor. if the parameter was create as read_only (immutable). The map used to store the parameter names and values, respectively, with one entry per parameter matching prefix. When a callback returns a not successful result, the remaining callbacks aren't called. If the parameter was declared, and therefore has a value, then it is assigned into the "parameter" argument of this method. (Fix bug that a callback not reached ()Set the minimum number of threads of the Multithreaded executor to 2 ()check thread whether joinable before join ()Set cpplint test timeout to 3 minutes ()Make sure to include-what-you-use in the node_interfaces. This allows the node developer to control which parameters may be changed. Get the parameter value, or the "alternative_value" if not set, and assign it to "parameter". Depending on your use case each different one has tradeoffs. sw_urdf_exporterurdf packageurdflink.STLsolidworks, jointlinkURDF(), RvizRviz The registered callbacks are called when a parameter is set. Get the parameter values for all parameters that have a given prefix. @clalancette thanks, works for me! If undeclared parameters are allowed, see the node option rclcpp::NodeOptions::allow_undeclared_parameters, then this method will not throw an exception, and instead return a default initialized rclcpp::Parameter, which has a type of rclcpp::ParameterType::PARAMETER_NOT_SET. If the type of the default value, and therefore also the type of return value, differs from the initial value provided in the node options, then a rclcpp::exceptions::InvalidParameterTypeException may be thrown. Return the Node's internal NodeGraphInterface implementation. If a callback tries to do any of the latter things, rclcpp::exceptions::ParameterModifiedInCallbackException will be thrown. If you get immediate feedback from the hardware that the change was lower than expected, call. tf::createQuaternionFromYaw equivalent in ros2, Define custom messages in python package (ROS2), Check if ROS2 Parameters Exist with RCLCPP, there doesn't seem to be a way to check if a parameter exists, Creative Commons Attribution Share Alike 3.0. If the exception is thrown then none of the parameters will have been set. If you're going to be checking more than one parameter, the listing is likely valuable. The list of parameter names to get the types. The node from which a new sub-node is created. Set the given parameter and then return result of the set action. The callback may introspect other already set parameters (by calling any of the {get,list,describe}_parameter() methods), but may not modify other parameters (by calling any of the {set,declare}_parameter() methods) or modify the registered callback itself (by calling the add_on_set_parameters_callback() method). if it starts with a leading '/'. That "normal" node instance may, however, be used to create further instances of this class, based on the original instance, which have an additional sub-namespace associated with them. That means that we'd have to change the signature of the parameter callbacks again. Can you explain more? [rclcpp] How do you specify Subscriber queue_size? rclcpp: ROS Client Library for C++ rclcpp provides the canonical C++ API for interacting with ROS. Sign in rclcpp This repository contains the source code for the ROS Client Library for C++ package, included with a standard install of any ROS 2 distro. Either all of the parameters are set or none of them are set. Furthermore, a sub-node may be used to create additional sub-node's, in which case the sub-namespace passed to this function will further extend the sub-namespace of the existing sub-node. Resetting or letting the smart pointer go out of scope after calling remove_on_set_parameters_callback is not a problem. Note also that the fully qualified node name is unaffected by a sub-namespace. Run the simplest ros2 (C++) program (and fail) Inspecting the simplest ROS (C++) program Distributed Logging with rosconsole Play Around Conclusion Installing ROS2 (if it hasn't already been installed) For Ubuntu Linux, you can follow these instructions, and for other platforms, see the main ros2 installation instructions. If no parameter_descriptor is given, then the default values from the message definition will be used, e.g. not a sub-node. I have another case of a driver for an experimental camera that is even more complex. Return the number of subscribers who have created a subscription for a given topic. You just use a std::clamp as you set the value in the callback. The resulting list of parameter names are used to get the values of the parameters. Like set_parameter and set_parameters, this method may throw an rclcpp::exceptions::ParameterNotDeclaredException exception if any of the parameters to be set have not first been declared. If setting a parameter fails due to not being declared, then the parameters which have already been set will stay set, and no attempt will be made to set the parameters which come after. Return the topic endpoint information about subscriptions on a given topic. There was some work done on lists in parameters this cycle, but I don't know the state off-hand, let me look it up. Get the fully-qualified name of the node. Parameter overrides are ignored by set_parameter. will be placed before each key, which would have been the case when naively expanding "namespace.key". Also, besides for declaring the parameter, you're saying that it also tries to get the parameter, and if it can't find it, it will default it to std::vector({1, 2, 3})? This namespace is the "node's" namespace, and therefore is not affected by any sub-namespace's that may affect entities created with this instance. Declare params with rclcpp rcl_interfaces::msg::SetParametersResult result; Encapsulation of Quality of Service settings. You signed in with another tab or window. In ROS2, there doesn't seem to be a way to check if a parameter exists directly without attempting to get the value of the parameter. [rclcpp] How do you specify Subscriber queue_size? The names which are used as keys in the values map have the prefix removed. Parameters Exceptions InvalidNamespaceError if the namespace is invalid Node () [2/3] the topic_name on which to count the subscribers. Usage #include "rclcpp/rclcpp.hpp" allows use of the most common elements of the ROS 2 system. Return the sub-namespace, if this is a sub-node, otherwise an empty string. Calling remove_on_set_parameters_callback more than once with the same handler, or calling it after the shared pointer has been reset is an error. if any parameter has not been declared and undeclared parameters are not allowed. The next bit depends on how the hardware behaves. Modify Parameters On Set Parameter Callback. A) Is there a way to check if a parameter exists that I'm missing ROS2 rclcpp Parameter Callback [Tutorial] In this ROS2 tutorial I will show you how to use an rclcpp parameter callback, so you can dynamically change parameters' values while a node is alive. Value to be stored in output if the parameter was not set. With parameters you can already change the configuration of the node at runtime. In all cases, the parameter is never set or declared within the node. The "prefix" argument is used to list the parameters which are prefixed with that prefix, see also list_parameters(). The message memory strategy to use for allocating messages. An initial value to be used if at run-time user did not override it. As an alternative, the smart pointer can be reset: Supposing that scoped_callback was the only owner. This method will result in any callback registered with add_on_set_parameters_callback to be called, once for each parameter. If the parameter has not been declared, then this method may throw the rclcpp::exceptions::ParameterNotDeclaredException exception. The documentation shows get_parameter returning an ParameterVariant but ParameterVariant doesn't seem to have an as_vector option. That is, my parameterCallback() looks something like: But I think what you are trying to do is something more like: @threeal Can you confirm that this is the use case you are trying to support? Even a std::clamp inside the on_set_parameter_callback won't work as the parameter itself is immutable. Return the number of publishers that are advertised on a given topic. Return a list of parameters with any of the given prefixes, up to the given depth. It is a somewhat clunky approach, but at the moment I don't have much better idea. Identical to the non-templated version of this method, except that when assigning the output argument called "parameter", this method will attempt to coerce the parameter value into the type requested by the given template argument, which may fail and throw an exception. remove_on_set_parameters_callback can also be used. But i shouldn't reject it either. Multiple parameter callbacks are not possible now. The ParameterVarient includes ARRAY types natively, The get_value method on the variant will return the vector value. Use an set_parameter_callback () to validate that the parameter is within any reasonable bounds. when i accept it, the parameter would simply changed from double to integer, and it would be considered bad. typename MessageMemoryStrategyT::SharedPtr, The user-defined callback function to receive a message, Additional options for the creation of the. get_namespace() will return the original node namespace, and will not include the sub-namespace if one exists. Do you want a list of parameters in a certain namespace, like /ns/* -> ['value of /ns/foo', 'value of /ns/bar', 'value of /ns/baz'], or do you want one parameter as a vector (e.g. An optional, custom description for the parameter. It should be pretty straightforward; we already have the ability to specify ranges in the parameter descriptor, we just need to enforce it when it is changed. Using a validator before updating the parameters is all nice and well if validation can be done beforehand. I found below code to work, not sure if this is the recommended way, but it works. I can declare and get parameters from YAML for 'ros_st' and 'ros_i' easily by: this->declare_parameter("ros_st", "Hello"); this->declare_parameter("ros_i", 0); this->get_parameter("ros_st", _st); this->get_parameter("ros_i", _n); But, I have no idea how to declare 'ros_vec' and get the parameters. Const casting the parameter is obviously not a permanent solution. The sub-namespace will extend the node's namespace for the purpose of creating additional entities, such as Publishers, Subscriptions, Service Clients and Servers, and so on. Incorrect Security Information - Docker GUI, How to get an array of parameters with rclcpp, get_parameter returning an ParameterVariant, Creative Commons Attribution Share Alike 3.0. using rclcpp::Node::OnParametersSetCallbackType = rclcpp::node_interfaces::NodeParametersInterface::OnParametersSetCallbackType Constructor & Destructor Documentation Node () [1/3] Create a new node with the specified name. If ignore_overrides is true, all the overrides of the parameters declared by the function call will be ignored. To the ROS2 Related Top Page ROS2 Lecture: Beginner -ROS1 style- [Previous: ROS2 publisher/subscriber using original messages: Beginner -ROS1 style-] [Next:Minimum configuration parameter:ROS2 -ROS1 style-] Here, we create a service and client program. Have a question about this project? That is, if you want to accept any value and clamp it, then don't set a range. No robot_description parameter, but command-line argument available. Using a validator before updating the parameters is all nice and well if validation can be done beforehand. Comments There's no reason I'm aware of that we don't have that function, probably just haven't needed it yet. If undeclared parameters are allowed, then a default initialized descriptor will be returned for the undeclared parameter's descriptor. This allows you to declare several parameters at once without a namespace. Return a graph event, which will be set anytime a graph change occurs. The map contains default values for parameters. GitHub What is set_on_parameters_set_callback doing? void rclcpp::Node::remove_on_set_parameters_callback. The topic for this publisher to publish on. rclcpp provides the standard C++ API for interacting with ROS 2. I think we have a long-term goal of being able to automatically clamp values for parameters based on the parameter description. Return the parameters by the given parameter names. DDS) apps). Add a new callback type for rclcpp::Node::add_on_set_parameter_callback() with the type of rcl_interfaces::msg::SetParametersResult callback(std::vector ¶meters). Wrap rclcpp::Node with basic Lifecycle behavior? Tetris.h Tetris.cpp Block.h Block.cpp Map.h Map.cppcppkey.cppros2rviz2ros2rviz2Tetrisrclcpp::Node . However, if the namespace is an empty string, then no leading '.' The resulting value for each declared parameter will be returned. I would add clipping what makes sure the parameter will be set in the rage of 0.0 to 100.0 in the setter. tf::createQuaternionFromYaw equivalent in ros2, Define custom messages in python package (ROS2). In ROS1, you could retrieve a list of parameters. If the parameter was not set, then the "parameter" argument is assigned the "alternative_value". Behaves like set_parameter, except that it sets multiple parameters, failing all if just one of the parameters are unsuccessfully set. declare_parameter also gets the parameter. Part of that is an explicit declare step for parameters, which will make "exists" make more sense. Get a clock as a non-const shared pointer which is managed by the node. The namespace in which to declare the parameters. you tried setting the frame rate to 40fps, but the driver knocked it back down to 33.7fps)? Create a new node with the specified name. Is there a way to get a parameter from the Parameters Server as unsigned type? Construct a sub-node, which will extend the namespace of all entities created with it. but what if i set the parameter to be 101.0, using the current on_set_parameter_callback() behavior, then i could only reject it. Changelog for package rclcpp 17.1.0 (2022-11-02) MultiThreadExecutor number of threads is at least 2+ in default. If you don't end up rolling it into that PR, please ping me and I'll try to make one. Additional options to control creation of the node. It should be possible to register it before or after the parameters are declared. Returns current time from the time source specified by clock_type. Already on GitHub? I have another case of a driver for an experimental camera that is even more complex. This method, if successful, will result in any callback registered with add_on_set_parameters_callback to be called. For example, if you use the prefix "foo" and the parameters "foo.ping" and "foo.pong" exist, then the returned map will have the keys "ping" and "pong". arguentsurdfrobot_description, urdfjoint_state_publisher_gui, rvizurdf.rvizrvizrviz, TFRobotModelrvizlaunchrviz, ate_publisher_node) ld.add_action(rviz2_node) return ld, 1.1:1 2.VIPC, Tetris.h Tetris.cpp Block.h Block.cpp Map.h Map.cppcppkey.cpp, , if the sub-namespace is absolute, i.e. If no parameters with the prefix are found, then the output parameter "values" will be unchanged and false will be returned. Return the Node's internal NodeTimeSourceInterface implementation. the topic_name on which to find the publishers. Declare and initialize a parameter with a type. but what if i accidently set the parameter to be 101.0, using the current on_set_parameter_callback() behavior, then i could only reject it. Get a clock as a const shared pointer which is managed by the node. as_bool () bool rclcpp::Parameter::as_bool ( ) const as_int () int64_t rclcpp::Parameter::as_int ( ) const the only things that could be done during on_set_parameter_callback is rejecting an invalid parameter. And the bad things, we also couldn't call set_parameter() inside the callback as stated in the documentation.
