I have been researching ROS, Gazebo, and Turtlebot 3 for the past three days. It is my first time exploring these topics, and my objective is to create a simulation where I can navigate a Turtlebot 3 while simulating its battery status. During my research, I came across the Gazebo battery class, but I am unsure about its usage and implementation. I also discovered that a Turtlebot 3 should publish its battery state under the sensor_msgs topic. However, in my Gazebo simulation, this topic is not being published. Although I believe it is possible to achieve this functionality, I am uncertain about which file to modify or what configuration to add. Given my limited knowledge in ROS and Gazebo, acquired over a brief period of three days, I am seeking assistance from the community to help me initiate a simulation where a stationary Turtlebot 3 can publish its battery state. I have come across the brass_gazebo_plugin, but I find the information available on its GitHub README and elsewhere to be insufficient. Any guidance to help me begin with a simulation where the Turtlebot 3 is situated in an open environment and publishes its battery state would be greatly appreciated.

Step by step
Solved in 3 steps
could you please provide the code too please for a battery monitor that can continuously monitor the battery level and send a low battery warning when the battery level falls below a certain threshold.
