Detailed Description

template<int i>
class goby::middleware::TimerThread< i >

Thread that simply publishes an empty message on its loop interval to TimerThread::group.

This can be launched to provide a simple timer by subscribing to TimerThread::group.

For example, to create timer that expires every two seconds:

launch_thread<goby::middleware::TimerThread<0>>(0.5*boost::units::si::hertz);
interthread().subscribe_empty<goby::middleware::TimerThread<0>::expire_group>([]() { std::cout << "Timer expired." << std::endl; });
