Revision history [back]

I also remember having problems with this a few months back, the documentation is not overly clear; but in the end is very simple.

To convert from euler to quaternion:

quaternion = tf.transformations.quaternion_from_euler(roll, pitch, yaw)
#type(pose) = geometry_msgs.msg.Pose
pose.orientation.x = quaternion[0]
pose.orientation.y = quaternion[1]
pose.orientation.z = quaternion[2]
pose.orientation.w = quaternion[3]

And to convert from quaternion to euler:

#type(pose) = geometry_msgs.msg.Pose
quaternion = (
    pose.orientation.x,
    pose.orientation.y,
    pose.orientation.z,
    pose.orientation.w)
euler = tf.transformations.euler_from_quaternion(quaternion)
roll = euler[0]
pitch = euler[1]
yaw = euler[2]
