subscriber callback

Hi guys,

I am using a subscriber with a callback. It works fine for a while but then the program suddenly stops. My process does not die but stops/freezes.

This is what I do ...

sub = nh.subscribe("topic_name", 10000, &Callback, this);

ros::spinOnce();

I operate two robots with the same code and most of the time one stops receiving data from the callback. The other one proceeds as suggested. I realized that the subscribing works but the process freezes during the spinOnce().

Does anyone have an idea?

You are only using spinOnce. This will only handle messages once. If you want to continuously receive messages call this in a loop or use ros::spin.

I just need to receive messages once at this position. The strange part is that the program stops/freezes after executing the nh.subscribe.

Can you try setting the queue size to 1.
