Is foxglove studio compatible to ros web bridge ?

As far as I understand, foxglove studio is able to connect to websocket servers ws://server_address:9090.
Is this API compatible with ros web bridge ?

ros1: https://github.com/RobotWebTools/rosbridge_suite/tree/develop/rosbridge_server
ros2: https://github.com/RobotWebTools/ros2-web-bridge

Yes, the WebSocket connection works with the ROS 1 bridge. We haven't tested it with ros2-web-bridge, but let us know if that's something you're interested in using.

We also have support in the works for direct (TCP) connections to ROS 1, which will be in our next release: https://github.com/foxglove/studio/pull/328

ROS 2 WebSocket bridge support is being tracked at #716.

Are you primarily interested in ROS 1 or 2? Are you already using the websocket bridge today?

I had no success with an existing ros1 rosbridge at Intel Euclid.
With my own programs, I see topics at my MacOSX (https://pypi.org/project/roslibpy),
with foxglove OSX I cannot get any response.

FYI: ROS1 has no high priority for me. I like to migrate all my projects to ROS2.

Hm, I'm sorry to hear that it's not working. Can you share more information— how are you launching the rosbridge server? Does Foxglove Studio show any errors in the main window or in the developer console (View > Toggle Developer Tools)?

You're also welcome to join us in our Slack workspace where it might be easier to do some debugging :)
