esp32_ros_ir_sensor

This is a little project for the ESP32 Dev Board based on this repository. It allows the user to connect multiple sensors like the Sharp GP2Y0A21YK0F Infrared Proximity Sensor 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.
