Detailed Description

For more information, see https://design.ros2.org/articles/clock_and_time.html.

ClockPublisher publishes time values to a ROS 2 topic. Set the topic and node properties, then call publish() to send messages. Alternatively, bind the clock property to publish automatically whenever the bound value changes.

See also ClockSubscriber.

Property Documentation

clock : time

The time value included in the next publish. Setting this property emits clockChanged and, when autoPublish is true, requests a publish at the end of the current event-loop iteration.

Method Documentation

void publish(time clock)

Publishes clock to the ROS 2 topic set by the topic property. Does nothing if the publisher is not connected.
