Hi! I've made my custom message following the tutorial here. It works fine. What i want to do is to include some information in my message, as a twist.msg, for instance.

How can I declare this on my .msg file? Something like this? :

geometry_msgs/Twist Base
geometry_msgs/Quaternion Turret
uint8  battery

would this work when catkin making all the custom messages?

Thanks in advance.

That is the correct way to define the message defintion. In addition:

  1. Make sure you add proper dependencies to geometry_msgs and std_msgs in your package's package.xml and your CMakeLists.txt files.

  2. You need to also add those dependencies to generate_messages macro in package's CMakeLists.txt:

generate_messages( DEPENDENCIES std_msgs geometry_msgs )
