The rcl_executor repository

This repository contains executors developed in the micro-ROS project for real-time execution.

In detail, this repository contains two ROS packages:

  • rcl_executor provides an executor that works directly based on the ROS 2 Client Support Library (rcl)
  • rcl_executor_examples provides small examples for the use of rcl_executor.

Technical information on the interfaces and use of these packages is given in the README.md files in the corresponding subfolders.
