Get and Set Parameters for ROS 2 Nodes

Open Live Script

Create a structure that contains all the parameters for the ROS 2 node.

nodeParams.my_double = 2.0;
nodeParams.my_namespace.my_int = int64(1);
nodeParams.my_double_array = [1.1 2.2 3.3];
nodeParams.my_string = "Keyparams";

Create a ROS 2 node and specify nodeParams as the parameters.

node1 = ros2node("/node1",Parameters=nodeParams);

Set the parameter my_double to a new value.

setParameter(node1,"my_double",5.2);

Obtain the new value of the parameter my_double.

doubleValue = getParameter(node1,"my_double")

doubleValue = 
5.2000
