ROS2 Connect Mobile vs SensorStream, powered by ROS 2

ROS2 Connect Mobile is a hobby project created to provide a mobile interface for monitoring ROS2 topics. It allows you to connect to a rosbridge server, subscribe to topics, visualize data in a custom dashboard, and monitor your robot in real-time. ROS2 Connect Mobile is the perfect app for robotics enthusiasts working with ROS2 (Robot Operating System). Key Features: - Real-time Communication: Easily connect to ROS2 systems and monitor their status. - Custom Dashboard: Build a personalized dashboard to monitor key metrics. - Topic Subscription: View and manage subscribed topics with a user-friendly interface. - Data Visualization: Explore sensor data and numeric information interactively. - Image Display: View image data from ROS2 topics, including camera feeds. If you have suggestions, feature requests, or find any bugs, please leave a review on the App Store. I will try my best to implement requested features or fix issues in future updates.

SensorStream turns your iPhone into a sensor platform, streaming LiDAR depth, RGB camera, IMU, and GPS data to your host computer over Wi-Fi or USB. Built for robotics prototypers, researchers, or anyone who wants to use the iPhone's powerful built-in sensor suite. SENSOR STREAMS • LiDAR Depth — 256×192 depth frames at up to 30 FPS from front and back (Wide) cameras (requires a LiDAR-equipped iPhone) • RGB Camera — JPEG-compressed colour frames at up to 30 FPS from the wide-angle camera, or front-facing camera • IMU — accelerometer, gyroscope, and quaternion orientation data at a configurable frequency • GPS — GNSS position TRANSPORT OPTIONS • Wi-Fi (TCP) — connect wirelessly over your local network; scan the server's QR code from the app for instant pairing • USB — low-latency wired connection via PeerTalk / iproxy for demanding real-time applications INTEGRATION • Driver for integration with ROS 2 — a companion driver publishes sensor data directly to ROS 2 topics (/depth_image, /color_image/compressed, /imu/data, /gps/fix) using sensor_msgs message types ON-DEVICE PREVIEW • Real-time depth overlay with adjustable min/max range and colour thresholds • Live camera preview • IMU visualiser for orientation feedback • Per-sensor toggles and settings — configure each sensor independently before streaming HOW IT WORKS 1. Start the companion driver on your computer 2. Open SensorStream, go to Settings → Network, and connect via Wi-Fi (scan the QR code or enter IP/port manually) or USB. 3. Enable the sensors you need on the Dashboard. 4. Tap Start Streaming, that's it. REQUIREMENTS • iPhone with iOS 15.6 or later • LiDAR sensor required for depth streaming (iPhone 12 Pro and later) • Host computer running Python 3.9+ and ROS 2 Humble for the companion server
