Use-Case

This feature helps alot for my robot to have stronger control over node states.

Anything else?

Hi,
I have concern regarding lifecycleNode setup. In the past, the zed has this support. But later removed it. It will be lot helpful. if the lifecycleNode is still available.

Hi @vijayreddysamula
modifying the Wrapper to use Lifecycle is on our roadmap.

We removed it because of the lack of Lifecycle support in image_transport, but we noticed that image_transport has many other issues. We will re-design this part and transform the ZED Components into Lifecycle components.

Unfortunately, this has not yet been scheduled, hence I cannot provide yet a release date.

Hi @Myzhar .

Thank you for the update! I'm hoping that the development can move forward sooner. I'm looking forward to seeing the changes and improvements in the future releases.
