Import my nodes of ROS2

[oriolorra]

Hi,

I am new into mov.ai Flow. Seems a pretty good tool.

I have some questions:

• I am using ros2 humble, by default, ros2 has some packages, nodes,... But, I cannot see them inside Mov.ai Flow. Is it using only packages, nodes,... which are inside the movai flow docker?
• Is it using ROS1, or can be used with ROS2?
• If I have a workspace with some packages with nodes, launch files,.... How could I import these local packages?

Thanks

Hi @oriolorra, Thank you for the question and the appreciation.

• Currently, we are with ROS noetic, so you won't find any default ros2 nodes as the sources are not added by default. The container you are looking for is spawner-robot1, where we have all the executables from ros. Yes, the nodes you see in the IDE use the installed nodes inside the spawner container.
• At the moment by default, we are using ROS1, but we are planning to add ROS2 in the future, I can't tell you when at this point :(
• For importing the nodes you can follow this procedure. The launch files are represented as flows in mov.ai, so you will need to make them using the IDE itself.

Let me know if you have further questions, I hope you find the product useful.
