Third-party ros messages
Hello,
Is it possible to write a standalone C++ or Java program that can prompt you for a text for example and then send it as a ROS message which will be received by a listening ros node? By standalone I mean that it is possible to compile the program on any machine with no need to ros installed, just using the necessary ros libraries. Did somebody already do that? I don't really understand how ros internally works and any help on how to collect the needed libraries for that would be very appreciated.
Thank you
As a very last resort, you can just implement the ROS network protocol. I would not recommend that, though.
