04.0 CAN bus messages to ROS topic extraction

Now that the CAN messages are coming in and are sent as encrypted msgs onto the /received topic, we need to extract them in order to use (and display) the information. To do so we are using this command: roslaunch bfft_can_msgs_to_ros_topic Start_Data_Collection.launch

This spins up a ROS node which starts the underlying CAN Node from ros_canopen as well as the self-written node used to translate the CAN messages with the DBC-Files. More information on this can be found in our sub-repository.
