ROS_DOMAIN_ID Change
-
Dear Researchers and Developers,
I can see PX4-related ROS 2 messages even without explicitly running any ROS 2 nodes myself.
It looks like these messages are visible under ROS_DOMAIN_ID=0.
Could you please share guidance on how to change the ROS 2 domain ID for these PX4-related messages?

Hey @yunwool
I would recommend writingexport ROS_DOMAIN_ID=1in your~/.bashrcand then restarting all terminals so the change takes effect. This should prevent other ROS 2 messages from appearing in your environment, since you’ll effectively be using your own domain.Optionally, you may want to look into the ROS_LOCALHOST_ONLY variable as well, since I do believe if someone else sets their domain ID to 1, you would see their messages.

Thank you for the reply.
Did you happen to add export ROS_DOMAIN_ID=1 to your ~/.bashrc?
When I do that, ROS 2 topics disappear in the VOXL shell.
However, on my laptop where ROS_DOMAIN_ID=0, I can see the ROS topics.
That’s why I posted this. -

Did you try setting the ROS_LOCALHOST_ONLY variable to limit the topics to your local device? -

Thank you again for the reply!
We are setting up a multi-robot system, so we are using ROS_LOCALHOST_ONLY=0.
For example, we want to set the ROS_DOMAIN_ID of drone 1 to 1 and the ROS_DOMAIN_ID of drone 2 to 2.
However, for both drones, PX4-related messages still appear under domain ID 0.
Have you tried this with two or more drones? -

Just to be clear, consider only your first drone, if you runexport ROS_DOMAIN_ID=1, then runros2 topic list, you aren't seeing any topics right?After you set the
ROS_DOMAIN_IDof a drone to 1, to get the PX4 topics to show up, onQGC > Analyze Tools > MAVLink Console, run the following commands:param set XRCE_DDS_DOM_ID 1 param saveThen power cycle the drone, give it like 15s after boot up, then the topics should come up directly when running
ros2 topic liston that drone.
