I have a custom msg data file containing the data field names that I wish to use for a project.

This data is published in a topic, that is written in Python. What I am trying to do is create a C++ script (Subscriber) that subscribes to this topic and displays a particular name within the msg data.

So far I have written the following:

void callback(const leap_motion_sensor::leap& msg)
{
    ROS_INFO("I heard" + msg);
}


int main(int argc, char** argv)
{
    ros::init(argc, argv, "features");

    ros::NodeHandle n;

    //ros::Timer timer1 = n.createTimer(ros::Duration(0.08), callback);

    ros::Subscriber sub = n.subscribe("/leapmotion/data", callback);

    ros::spin();


  return 0;
}

I get the following warning message:

[WARN] [WallTime: 1390260279.317426] Could not process inbound connection: topic t
types do not match: [leap_motion_sensor/leap] vs. [leap_motion_sensor/leapros]
{'topic': '/leapmotion/data', 'tcp_nodelay': '0', 'md5sum': 
'3e9a0dc7fd1a98f1d7489e9011c78807', 'type': 'leap_motion_sensor/leap', 'callerid': 
'/features'}

Here is what the msg file contains:

Header header

float64[3] hand_direction float64[3] hand_normal float64[3] hand_palm_pos float64 hand_pitch float64 hand_roll float64 hand_yaw

I just want to copy the data from the "hand_direction" into a std::vector<float> Is this possible and if so, what needs to be in my callback function in order to be able to pass through this data?

Thanks

It looks like you aren't publishing and receiving the same message types; the message type that you're subscribing to and the message type that is being published must match.

For your example, it looks like you should be subscribing to the leap_motion_sensor/leapros message type (leap_motion_sensor::leapros in C++).

From there, you should be able to access the hand_direction data with msg->hand_direction
