I have a custom message /adc_interface/EMGSignal. If I run rosmsg show EMGSignal it displays the message correctly. However, if I try to run rostopic echo /adc_interface/EMGSignals I get:

ERROR: Cannot load message class for [adc_interface/EMGSignal]. Are your messages built?

I also get a similar error when trying to use rqt_plot.

The message has been tested and used on Groovy on another computer. I am running Hydro on my computer.

I have run catkin_make. My .bashrc is:

source /opt/ros/hydro/setup.bash
export ROS_PACKAGE_PATH="/home/craig/Documents/workspace/551/project":$ROS_PACKAGE_PATH

I am new to Ros and may have some configuration/installation issues (I thought it would be fun to uninstall python from Linux Mint - it wasn't).

Additionally, running roswtf produces:


Loaded plugin tf.tfwtf
No package or stack in context

I got this one figured out.

I needed to source the devel/setup.bash file that catkin generates.
