Differences to ROS dynamic_reconfigure

ROS dynamic_reconfigure can read and write parameters of nodes at run-time. The tool has the following drawbacks compared to the parameter_handler packages:

  • The client is not dynamically reconnecting when the server is restarted
  • It requires a lot of overhead code.
  • It does not support Eigen and kindr types.

Building

In order to install, clone the latest version from this repository into your catkin workspace and compile the packages.
