1 minute read

This is an example technical blog post. Use this as a template for your own technical posts about robotics, programming, research findings, tutorials, etc.

Introduction

Start with a brief introduction explaining what this post covers and why it’s useful to the reader.

For example: “In this post, I’ll share some practical tips for ROS2 development that I’ve learned while working on surgical robotics projects.”

Main Content Section

Subheading with Code Example

You can include code blocks with syntax highlighting:

import rclpy
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)

Inline Code

You can also use inline code for short snippets like ros2 run my_package my_node.

Adding Images

Add images using markdown:

Lists and Key Points

Numbered steps:

  1. First, install the dependencies
  2. Then, build the workspace
  3. Finally, run the node

Bullet points:

  • Key insight one
  • Key insight two
  • Key insight three
