This is the ROS driver for Phidgets temperature. The various topics, services, and parameters that the node operates with are listed below.
/temperature
(std_msgs/Float64
) - The current temperature in degrees Celsius.
serial
(int) - The serial number of the phidgets gyroscope to connect to. If -1 (the default), connects to any gyroscope phidget that can be found.hub_port
(int) - The phidgets VINT hub port to connect to. Only used if the gyroscope phidget is connected to a VINT hub. Defaults to 0.thermocouple_type
(int) - The type of thermocouple that is connected. Allowed values are 0 (for not a thermocouple, the default), 1 (for a J-Type), 2 (for a K-Type), 3 (for an E-Type), or 4 (for a T-Type). See https://www.phidgets.com/docs/Thermocouple_Primer for more information.data_interval_ms
(int) - The number of milliseconds between acquisitions of data on the device. Defaults to 250 ms.publish_rate
(int) - How often the driver will publish data on the ROS topic. If 0 (the default), it will publish every time there is an update from the device (so at thedata_interval_ms
). If positive, it will publish the data at that rate regardless of the acquisition interval.
