Stop spawning URDF models directly in Gazebo in ROS2! ๐Ÿ™…โ€โ™€๏ธ Use SDF. It's more versatile, handles complex sensors & physics better, and is ROS2 native. #ROS2 #Robotics #Gazebo #SDF #DevTip.

Stop writing separate launch files for sim & real hardware! Use parameter files & conditionals in your main launch file for easy switching. #ROS2 tip: Makes deployment a breeze & keeps your code DRY. ๐Ÿš€ #robotics #ROS.

Debugging ROS2 transformations woes? ๐Ÿ˜ซ Use `tf2_echo` to *directly* compare published transforms, even if the source is a complex TF tree. Avoid the interpolation guessing game! #ROS2 #robotics #debugging.

Stop using `rclcpp::sleep_for` in your ROS2 controllers! Use a timer instead! โฐ More predictable behavior & easier to integrate with ROS2's event loop. #ROS2 #Robotics #rclcpp #BestPractices.

Just discovered: You can use `#ros2 topic echo -n 1 /your_topic` to get *only* the latest message. Super useful for debugging complex systems & avoiding terminal spam! ๐Ÿš€ #ROS2Dev #Robotics #Debugging.

Don't just `ros2 topic echo`. Pipe it to `jq` for readability! ๐Ÿค–โœจ Makes debugging custom msgs MUCH easier. Example: `ros2 topic echo /my_topic | jq` #ROS2 #ROS2Tip #Robotics #jq.

Stop fighting TF2! ๐Ÿ™…โ€โ™€๏ธ Static transforms in your URDF are GOOD! ๐Ÿ’ช Define them in the URDF instead of constantly broadcasting them. Cleaner code, less CPU overhead. #ROS2 #Robotics #ProTip.

Stop using `rclcpp::spin()` in your component's `on_activate()`. It blocks! Use a dedicated spin thread to avoid deadlocks. ๐Ÿงต #ROS2Dev #rclcpp #RoboticsTip #ROS2.

Debugging #ROS2 transformations? ๐Ÿคฏ `ros2 run tf2_tools view_frames` is your friend! Pipe the output to `xdot` for a visual tf tree. No more staring at static broadcaster code! #robotics #devtip.
