I need to write a subscribe to the cmd_vel topic, where am publishing to turtlebot the gazebo. So I want to return the speed turtlebot through the subscriber, not chei code examples for this case, I'm using an example of publisher where the directional control turtlebot in the gazebo. would be grateful for any help! !

I know I have 2 variables that the publisher would velocidada the angular and linear speed, but I need a topic that returns me the speed if not possible at least the subscriber's cmd_vel help me.

Thank you

Yes it works even with turtlebot. /odom gives you the current speed and current position of your robot. But I advise you...you didn't tell too much about your project

So that's exactly what I need, first I want to publish turtlebot speed, ie move it around the map, but I'm doing it for cmd_vel topic and noticed that just do to set values for position update,

using /odom you get the information you need. It publishes actual position and velocity informations of your robot.

/cmd_vel takes just the desired velocity and moves your robot accordingly. Usually one publishes on /cmd_vel to move the robot and subscribes on /odom to get the wanted informations.

I can strongly suggest to buy the following book because it has a very good any clear example on what you are going to do.
