0.1.2 (2021-01-06)
Fix update rate issues by working around MutliThreadedExecutor (#275) * Fix update rate issues by working around MutliThreadedExecutor Currently the MutliThreadedExecutor performance is very bad. This leads to controllers not meeting their update rate. This PR is a temporary workaround for these issues. The current approach uses a rclcpp timer to execute the control loop. When used in combination with the MutliThreadedExecutor, the timers are not execute at their target frequency. I’ve converted the control loop to a while loop on a separate thread that uses nanosleep to execute the correct update rate. This means that rclcpp is not involved in the execution and leads to much better performance. * Address review comments by rewriting several comments
