Mock data node

[eomielan]

Purpose

The purpose of this issue is to create a new node in the boat simulator to generate mock data for publishing to specific topics outside the simulator's scope, such as desired_heading and sail_trim_tab_angle. This functionality will help with integration testing by providing necessary information to components like the low-level control node without having to run other nodes such as pathfinding.

Description

• Develop the ROS node within boat_simulator/nodes. Refer to the following resources for guidance on creating a node:
  • ROS Documentation
  • Physics Engine Node
• For reference you can review the changes made in creating the data collection node: Data Collection Node PR

Testing

• Utilize the data collection node to verify mocked data.
