New Feature

  • Add minimal support for requests and replies over micro xrce_dds.
  • The service /fmu/vehicle_command:
    VehicleCommand request
    ---
    VehicleCommandAck reply
    
    replaces /fmu/in/vehicle_command and fmu/out/vehicle_command_ack.

Base services

The virtual class SrvBase allows to define new services, each new service must implement its new constructor, the process_request method, which is called whenever a new request is received the process_reply method, which process and send the reply. VehicleCommandSrv gives an example of implementation.

The registration of new services is performed by UxrceddsClient::add_replier(), the maximum number of services that can be instantiated is fixed by MAX_NUM_REPLIERS.

How to test

The easiest way to test this PR is in simulation.
The PR requires custom versions px4_msgs: PX4/px4_msgs#31 , which defines the new px4_msgs::srv::Vehicle_Command service.
Then a modified version of px4_ros_com: PX4/px4_ros_com#207 , which implements a version of the offboard_control node using px4_msgs::srv::Vehicle_Command.

Changelog Entry

For release notes:

update CI (github and Jenkins) to push changes of srv/
to PX4/px4_msgs repo
