ROS node that runs a web server on your robot. Run the node, point your web browser at http://your-robot-ip:8888/ and you get nice visualizations.
Mobile friendly. Designed so you can walk around next to your robot with a phone while viewing ROS topics.
Light weight. Doesn't depending on much. Consumes extremely little resources when it's not actually being used.
Easily extensible. Easily code a visualization for a custom type by only adding only one .js file and referencing it inside the top of index.js.
You can run it on your desktop too and play a ROS bag.
Also be sure to check out my terminal visualization tool, rosshow at https://github.com/dheera/rosshow/.
After installation, you can immediately run it and visualize your ROS topics with:
rosboard
All ROS topics visualizers are readily available.
Note: the following is optional and only necessary if you use the related visualizers.
In order to display the core temperatures in the 'SYSTEM: System stats' visualizer,
you need to connect the snap hardware-observe interface as follows:
snap connect rosboard:hardware-observe

Snaps are applications packaged with all their dependencies to run on all popular Linux distributions from a single build. They update automatically and roll back gracefully.
Snaps are discoverable and installable from the Snap Store, an app store with an audience of millions.
Snap is available for CentOS 7.6+, and Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.6+, from the Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux (EPEL) repository. The EPEL repository can be added to your system with the following command:
sudo yum install epel-release
Snap can now be installed as follows:
sudo yum install snapd
Once installed, the systemd unit that manages the main snap communication socket needs to be enabled:
sudo systemctl enable --now snapd.socket
To enable classic snap support, enter the following to create a symbolic link between /var/lib/snapd/snap and /snap:
sudo ln -s /var/lib/snapd/snap /snap
Either log out and back in again, or restart your system, to ensure snap’s paths are updated correctly.
To install rosboard, simply use the following command:
sudo snap install rosboard --edge
Browse and find snaps from the convenience of your desktop using the snap store snap.
