What problem does it solve?
Managing synchronized time across a ROS 2 system running in simulation, ensuring all nodes use the simulated clock and avoiding timing mismatches between components.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Global sim-time enforcement: ensures all nodes switch to simulated time via use_sim_time and propagate consistently through TF and timers.
- Bridge and launch integration: works with Gazebo/ros_gz_bridge to maintain clock coherence during simulation launches.
- Debug & validation: provides guidance to verify /clock publication and node time settings to prevent desynchronization.
Quick Start
Configure your ROS 2 launch to enable use_sim_time and verify every node inherits sim-time within the simulation.
