A Unity library for communicattion with ROS through RosBridge

The first version of this I believe origins from Michael Jenkin, in the repo unityros. He has made a sample unity project showing turtlesim, with good instructions on how to use this project. All honor goes to him. I created this project because there was no repository containing the barebone library.

This repository is intended to be imported as a git submodule.

This repository does not contain every ROS message. If you need to add one, please fork this repository, add the file and make a pull request.

Documentation is in the code. I have added some more in addition to what Michael Jenkin (original author). The main file is ROSBridgeWebSocketConnection.cs, which sets up everything.

A Unity project which uses this repository UnityROSSensorVisualizer:

public class RealsenseViewer : MonoBehaviour  {
  private ROSBridgeWebSocketConnection ros = null;
    
  void Start() {
    ros = new ROSBridgeWebSocketConnection ("ws://localhost", 9090);
    ros.AddSubscriber (typeof(RealsenseCompressedImageSubscriber));
    ros.AddServiceResponse (typeof(RealsenseServiceResponse));
    ros.Connect ();
  }
  
  // Extremely important to disconnect from ROS. OTherwise packets continue to flow
  void OnApplicationQuit() {
    if(ros!=null) {
      ros.Disconnect ();
    }
  }
  
  // Update is called once per frame in Unity
  void Update () {
    ros.Render ();
  }
}
