## README

# esp32_ros_ir_sensor

This is a little project for the ESP32 Dev Board based on [this repository](https://github.com/sachin0x18/rosserial_esp32).
It allows the user to connect multiple sensors like the [Sharp GP2Y0A21YK0F Infrared Proximity Sensor](https://global.sharp/products/device/lineup/data/pdf/datasheet/gp2y0a21yk_e.pdf)
to the ROS1 Melodic Ecosystem.
The contained source code is used to deliver distance values from a few connected sensors wirelessly to a ROS application.
