Synchronization Tooling Messages

This project aims to serve as a bridge between the Python-based Synchronization Tooling and ROS-based C++ packages such as Nebula.

ROS2 message transport has been evaluated for this use case but has ultimately not fulfilled requirements:

• it does not support self-similar data structures such as JSON-like nested objects
• the different Ubuntu/Python versions used on different ECUs make it hard to use ROS2 in combination with Python 3.10

Prerequisites

• Protobuf >= 3.12 (sudo apt install libprotoc-dev libprotoc23)

When building for Python (ROS2-less):

• Python >= 3.10
• uv (pip install uv)

When building for C++/ROS2:

• CMake >= 3.14
• ROS2 Humble

Building

For Python (without ROS2)

uv sync && uv build

For C++ (ROS2)

colcon build
