from rclpy.node import Node
class MinimalPublisher(Node):
def __init__(self):
super().__init__('minimal_publisher')
self.publisher_ = self.create_publisher(String, 'topic', 10)
timer_period = 0.5 # seconds
self.timer = self.create_timer(timer_period, self.timer_callback)
def timer_callback(self):
msg = String()
msg.data = 'Hello World'
self.publisher_.publish(msg)
