System Documentation

What problem does it solve?

RViz overlays render 2D text and status indicators directly on the RViz viewport to provide at-a-glance telemetry for battery, velocity, and navigation state during development and operations.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • OverlayText-based displays powered by rviz_2d_overlay_plugins to render battery, velocity, and nav state.
  • BatteryOverlayPublisher and DashboardOverlay nodes provide real-time telemetry overlays.
  • Use cases include on-robot dashboards during field deployments, SITL simulations, and testing where quick telemetry at-a-glance is needed.
  • RViz configuration guidance shown in the examples.

Quick Start

Launch the RViz overlays by running the BatteryOverlayPublisher and DashboardOverlay nodes and add the rviz_2d_overlay_plugins overlays to your RViz configuration.
