Create alternative to std_msgs/Float64MultiArray in ForwardCommandController & family
Problem:
std_msgs/Float64MultiArray is deprecated.
# This was originally provided as an example message.
# It is deprecated as of Foxy
# It is recommended to create your own semantically meaningful message.
# However if you would like to continue using this please use the equivalent in example_msgs.
# Please look at the MultiArrayLayout message definition for
# documentation on all multiarrays.
MultiArrayLayout layout # specification of data layout
float64[] data # array of data
https://github.com/ros2/common_interfaces/blob/foxy/std_msgs/msg/Float64MultiArray.msg
Proposal:
Create (an) alternative in control_msgs. This could be a set of messages with a single joint interface type, one supporting multiples, or one message that has a field for the joint interface type and one that is fully dynamic --- (dynamic joint states??).
std_msgs/Float64MultiArray is deprecated.
yeah, this really should have been given some more attention.
See SOSS: a whole new approach to your ROS 1-ROS 2 bridge! where this was casually dropped in an off-topic discussion. "It's in the release notes, we can't do anything more" (which is true, it's mentioned in the notes, but I doubt many people have seen those).
Yeah, I also had no idea, and although I looked at this message a few times, I didn't read its header. Actually, a ROS newcomer I was helping pointed me into this...
This should be a massive topic on ROS discourse...
Feel free to bring it up again.
I've directly asked for an announcement. The response was:
It's in the release notes, we can't do anything more
from here.
