Nothing published on rostopics

Hi!
I'm using Flexpak6 device and I noticed that's not supporting "RAWIMUX" command. Anyway ROS starting without any errors, warnings or infos. There are available rostopics, but nothing is published. I checked serial communication and all frames are going trough.

Is that missing command responsible for this situation?

Just to be sure, do you have a SPAN device? Not all FlexPak6 enclosures have SPAN support, and if you don't, then it won't produce any IMU-related messages.

If you connect directly to it with a serial terminal (I like CuteCom ), if you type something like log rawimuxa once, does it print anything?

Yeah, it's not SPAN device so it doesn't support "RAWIMUX" command (it prints back info about that after sending a command).

The main problem was empty rostopics, but after some tries i fixed it. The first problem was GPS rate lower than 20Hz described in for example #6 or #44 issue and the second was with antenna. Testing device was in garage and it wasn't getting fix. I was getting "insufficient data rate" error even with all frames visible on serial port so I thought it's ros/driver problem, not device problem.

It would be easier if driver could parse messages with no fix inside and I could see something when doing "rostopic echo" for example "no fix" when tracking 0 satellites. Anyway it's not any bug, driver works fine, so I'm closing this Issue.
