Generating ROS2 Messages
########################

These are the steps to generating ROS2 message files from the juicer generated database.

Edit the config
===============

Edit the file ``~/code/brash/src/cfe_ros2_bridge_plugin/cfe_msg_converter/config/cfe_msg_converter.yaml`` and set the **juicer_db** to point to your database file that juicer generated.


Compile the ROS2 packages
=========================

.. code-block:: bash

    $ cd ~/code/brash
    $ colcon build --symlink-install


Run the converter
=================

.. code-block:: bash

    $ cd ~/code/brash
    $ . install/local_setup.bash
    $ ros2 launch cfe_msg_converter cfe_msg_converter.launch.py

The output of this will appear in the directory ``~/code/brash/src/cfe_ros2_bridge_plugin/cfe_msgs/msg``
