Hello people

I'm trying to control an inverted pendulum using MATLAB. I have successfully created the model and applied constant joint torques using following codes in MATLAB:

ipaddress = '192.168.x.x';
rosinit(ipaddress)
gazebo = ExampleHelperGazeboCommunicator();
PendulumModel = ExampleHelperGazeboModel('1link','gazeboDB');
Pendulum = spawnModel(gazebo,PendulumModel,[0 0 0]);
[links, joints] = getComponents(Pendulum);
stopTime = 50; % Seconds
effort = 2 * 10 * 0.8; % Newton-meters
jointTorque(Pendulum, joints{1}, stopTime, effort);

My main problem is that I can't feedback the pendulum joint angle in MATLAB. Would you please help me to get joint angles in MATLAB.

Additional Info: MATLAB version : R2016a Running Kubuntu through vmware player which has ros hydro installed and configured to connect to MATLAB
