Hi All,! I am troubleshooting a robot I am working on and for some reason the twist commands are not getting to the base. On ething I found that I think is out of the ordinary is this: image description Is it normal that /cmd_vel is:

  1. Coming from two different sources into the rostopic node?
  2. Going through the Arduino node?
  3. And that it has that little loop above the /arduino bubble in the arduino node?

Thanks for all your help in advance,

luketheduke

That diagram you poseted looks like a valid ROS node graph architecture-wise; ROS topic is n-to-n, not 1-to-1. See other threads for example (1, 2) for more concept.

Depending on your application, however, your configration can be problematic since all topics are published under the same name cmd_vel. You could publish the same topic type (called msg in ROS) under different names so that the subscribers can differentiate what they really need.
