Subsribe and publish conversion problem [closed]

I'm trying to write an own Subscribe and Publisk node. I would like ti subscribe to the joystick and publish to my motors. For the publish i create with a launchfile to topics, I use the JointVelocityController for that, so they are from type std_msgs:.Float 64. And I think the type i get from the joy is Float32. So when ich start building the node i get this error:

/home/ae/catkin_ws/src/epos_hardware-indigo-devel/epos_hardware/src/nodes/talker.cpp:30:17: error: no match for ‘operator=’ (operand types are ‘std_msgs::Float64’ and ‘float’)
   velocity_left = 1000*joy->axes[7];
                 ^

make[1]: *** [epos_hardware-indigo-devel/epos_hardware/CMakeFiles/talker.dir/all] Error 2
make: *** [all] Error 2

This is my Subscribe and Publish node:

  #include "ros/ros.h"
#include "std_msgs/Float64.h"
#include <sensor_msgs/Joy.h>

#define MAX_VELO 80000

class SubscribeAndPublish
{

    public:
    SubscribeAndPublish()

    {



        sub_joint= n.subscribe<sensor_msgs::Joy>("joy",1, &SubscribeAndPublish::joyCallback, this);

        pub_velocity_left= n.advertise<std_msgs::Float64>("left_velocity_controller/command", 1);
        pub_velocity_right= n.advertise<std_msgs::Float64>("right_velocity_controller/command", 1);


    }

  void joyCallback(const sensor_msgs::Joy::ConstPtr& joy)
    {
        std_msgs::Float64 velocity_left;

        // do something with the code
        velocity_left = 1000*joy->axes[7];
        pub_velocity_right.publish(velocity_left);
        pub_velocity_left.publish(velocity_left);
    }

    private:

    ros::NodeHandle n;
    ros::Publisher pub_velocity_right;
    ros::Publisher pub_velocity_left;
    ros::Subscriber sub_joint;
};



int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
    ros::init(argc,argv,"subsribe_and_publish");

    SubscribeAndPublish SAPObject;

    ros::spin();

    return 0;

 }

I think the problem is that i have different kind of types, but i don't now how i can converted them or what i can do.

Thanks for your ideas

Try changing from velocity_left = 1000*joy->axes[7]; to velocity_left.data = 1000*joy->axes[7];. In the std_msgs/Float64 the field holding the float is data. What the error is saying is that currently you are trying to assign the entire message (not just a single message field) to a float value.
