Call service without internet [closed]

edit

Hi thank you so much for your response! I'm trying to call solveinverseposition in Baxter_core_msg.srv, and I used wait_for_response, that's where it gets stuck.

Im not sure about the node hosting. My TA did all the set up for me. We are using a computer that's connected to Baxter through a route

wait... are you using wait_for_service or wait_for_response? Those are two different things, and they imply very different failure modes. Is it possible that the service you're trying to call simply doesn't exist? (try rossservice list)

This is part of my code: def inverseKinematics(self,limb, point, orientation): rospy.init_node("rsdk_ik_service_client") ns = "ExternalTools/" + limb + "/PositionKinematicsNode/IKService" rospy.wait_for_service(ns) iksvc = rospy.ServiceProxy(ns, SolvePositionIK)

Thank you again. Sorry I was mistaken. I was trying to call SolvePositionIK and SolvePositionIKRequest from baxter_core_msgs.srv. Are you saying that if the lab computer doesn't have those packages, then I need to download them put them in my project folder? I'm not sure if the lab computer has it.

Try rosservice list to verify that there is or isn't a node providing the service you're trying to call.

Yes there is, and this time it worked! Looks like it was some old version syntax problem. Thank you so much for answering my questions! Hope you have a great day!
