Allow to load custom configuration for the description

Open francocipollone opened this issue 1 year ago • 4 comments

Context

Nowadays the configuration files that describe the robot are located at: https://github.com/Ekumen-OS/andino/tree/humble/andino_description/config/andino

However if the user wanted to have it a bit different; motors added in a different manner, lidar displaced and connected somwhere else, base with different size; they should create their own URDF files as the configuration files are harcoded within the xacro file

Proposal

  • Modify the xacro to receive by argument the path to the configuration files
  • Use as default the current files if no argument is passed down to the xacro files.
  • Modify the launch file to accept passing the path to the configuration yaml.

Also!

  • Update documentation
