Robot_description not working

[reynash02]

When I run the rosboard in ros2 and add the topic robot_description, it keeps loading the tab and shows "Waiting for data"

most of the examples that send robot_description send a message at startup and rarely after that point. If you don't specify a history when the topic is created those messages won't be retained for rosboard to see.

That said, visualizing the robot_description doesn't do much in rosboard since it's just XML. You may be interested in #143 which adds rendering of the URDF.

Hi can you see if this is fixed now?
