void interface_buttons_callback(
const irobot_create_msgs::msg::InterfaceButtons::SharedPtr create3_buttons_msg)

if (create3_buttons_msg->button_1.is_pressed) {
RCLCPP_INFO(this->get_logger(), "Button 1 Pressed!");

rclcpp::Subscription<irobot_create_msgs::msg::InterfaceButtons>::SharedPtr
interface_buttons_subscriber_;
// Lightring Publisher
rclcpp::Publisher<irobot_create_msgs::msg::LightringLeds>::SharedPtr lightring_publisher_;
};
Note
The Lightring publisher uses the LightringLeds message type.
Next, lets create a function that will populate a LightringLeds message, and publish it.
Add this code below your interface_buttons_callback function:
// Perform this function when Button 1 is pressed.
