Trouble with using roscpp and mavros api to integrate pixhawk with Jetson

Hi,

I'm trying to Integrate pixhawk with Nvidia Jetson TK1. I was able to use ROS/Mavros and communicate with pixhawk by ros commands. Now I'm trying to use roscpp and mavros C++ api to communicate with pixhawk by C++ development on Jetson. I was able to run hello world program by following this tutorial http://jbohren.com/articles/roscpp-he...

Now, I'm trying to use it and mavros api to send arming commands to pixhawk. I modified it this way and compiled the program.

// Include the ROS C++ APIs

#include <ros/ros.h>
#include <mavros/mavros.h>
#include <mavros/CommandBool.h>
#include <mavros/mavros_plugin.h>
#include <pluginlib/class_list_macros.h>
#include <iostream>
using namespace mavros;
using namespace mavplugin;

// Standard C++ entry point
int main(int argc, char** argv) {
  // Announce this program to the ROS master as a "node" called "hello_world_node"
  ros::init(argc, argv, "mavros");
  // Start the node resource managers (communication, time, etc)
  ros::start();
  // Broadcast a simple log message
  ROS_INFO_STREAM("Hello, world!");
  //Create Request and Response structures for Arming service
  CommandBool::Request arm_req;//=new CommandBool::Request<std::Allocator<void>>();
  arm_req.value=1;
  CommandBool::Response arm_res;//=new CommandBool::Response();
  //Send arming command to master node
  bool result=mavplugin::CommandPlugin::arming_cb(&arm_req, &arm_res);
  // Process ROS callbacks until receiving a SIGINT (ctrl-c)
  ros::spin();
  // Stop the node's resources
  ros::shutdown();
  // Exit tranquilly
  return 0;
}

I got the following error message after compiling this:

sample.cpp: In function ‘int main(int, char**)’:
sample.cpp:28:26: error: ‘mavplugin::CommandPlugin’ has not been declared
   bool result=mavplugin::CommandPlugin::arming_cb(&arm_req, &arm_res);

Can anyone please suggest me how to proceed? Thanks.

You used wrong namespace.

mavplugin is for plugins only, do not include it in your nodes. Also you don't need pluginlib.

Second: ros::init(), "mavros" taken by mavros_node!

Third: you should use ros services! Calling plugin class methods completely wrong.
