Hi,
Could somebody please explain the following piece of code from the course project?
might be wrong but looks to me like
- changes directory to where the spots.yaml file is
- loads the spots.yaml file and saves it in paramlist
- goes through all the params and ns in paramlist
- goes through all the key, value pairs in the params dictionary
- if the key == request.label the parameter is uploaded
So this all looks like we only load the parameters defined in request.label from the spots.yaml file
Hi Simon,
I wanted to understand what params and ns were in for params, ns in paramlist:
, so I tried printing the values and it returned params as the dictionaries stored in list paramlist but ns just returned “/”. What does this mean?
Also, where are the parameters uploaded in rosparam.upload_params(ns, params)
? Like when returning the outcome of a service or action, we assign it to “response.variable_name” or “result.variable_name”, what exactly is happening in the above mentioned line of code?
Hi @shiruraditya, hope you are having a good day. Well the params are the parameter server. You can get a better understanding of this topic in the end of the course ROS Basics in 5 days and after following and reading up on that I would recommend you to read in depth using the following link: http://wiki.ros.org/Parameter%20Server
Let me know if you want any other help regarding this. I will be more then happy to help out. Cheers.
