Hi all,

Is there already an approach how to implement joints driver for motors?  
I want to memorize joints states in a driver and communicate this information to different node within the motor. It should ensure that information is exchanged between other nodes.  
I looked here [https://github.com/ros-controls/ros\_control](https://github.com/ros-controls/ros_control) but could not find something that suits my thoughts.

Has anyone some hints for me?
