Hi,

I already have a pubsubtutorial application up and running.

However, how can I modify it or how shall I change the given tutorial code so that the application does not set up its own RosCore, but instead connects to a RosCore already running on a PC (let's say with http://host:11311 ).

In addition, what I am intending to do is that the android phone can have a command line tool so that the user can simply give commands as if the user were typing the commands into the terminal on the pc. So, is there a way so that it is the android phone that connects to the phone in command line mode?

Thanks! Really Appreciate it! :D

David

1) Set the ROS_MASTER_URI environment variable to where the roscore is running. 2) You could send commands as String messages and execute the code on the client side.

Hi Dornhege! Thanks for the answer, I am actually looking for some sample code to accomplish them, if available.
