The difference between type of packages

Course Support URDF for Robot Creation in ROS2

Hi,

I see you create an ament-cmake package when you create urdf file.

Could I use ament-python package for creating urdf file? And Why?

Thanks

Hi,

You can for sure, its another way of creating ros2 packages.
You would have to add to the setup.py the installation of the URDF folders among others used.

We use the cmake version because its cleaner and more convenient when working with URDF and XACROS, but its just a preference because you just have to add the folders which is a bit cleaner than with python version.
