Hi, I am new to ROS. I have been searching how to do this for a few days, but no luck.

I am would like to ask how to use my own GUI (created using Qt) to run existing ROS nodes. For example, I have a package downloaded from internet. I would like to build a GUI(only) to run the node, which publishes some data, and show it in the GUI window.

I have downloaded qt_ros, but apparently it seems that I need to build a new package using the code in the package I downloaded online.

Thank you.

Besides qt_ros, there is another qt-related package called RQT, here is the wiki: http://wiki.ros.org/rqt

Hope it help.

Thank you. However, this seems not to be the way I am looking for. What I am looking for is a way to run an existing ROS node by clicking on my GUI. For example, I have already used Qt creator created a GUI window with a push button. I would like to use it to run an existing node. Thank you
