Hello,

Does anyone know about how to add a customized ros message to RosInterface package?

Cheers.

Hello,

quoting coppelia in this post:

If you need a new message to be supported, simply edit the file programming/ros_packages/v_repExtRosInterface/meta/messages.txt and recompile the package v_repExtRosInterface.

To compile the RosInterface package, take a look at this tutorial

Hello,

Thank you for your reply. But it doesn't work in my case.

see output of compiling below:

Code: Select all

Traceback (most recent call last):

    return get_fields(lines)

make[1]: *** [CMakeFiles/v_repExtRosInterface.dir/all] Error 2

Does anyone know how to resolve this?

Humm... did you specify the full message name? I.e: yourPackage/yourMessage.

The error is about a missing '/' somewhere, but I do not know python and I am not sure about what "generate_ros_stuff.py" does.

Let's see if the admins know what that error means.

Regards.

What line did you add to the file programming/ros_packages/v_repExtRosInterface/meta/messages.txt?

Cheers
