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.
