Custom message

edit

Hello,

I have defined this custom message, FloatsStamped.msg :

Header header
float32[] data

The CMakeLists.txt is:

cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 2.8.3)
project(grideye)

find_package(catkin REQUIRED COMPONENTS
  roscpp
  rospy
  std_msgs
  message_generation
)

  ${catkin_INCLUDE_DIRS}
)

My package.xml is :

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<package>
  <name>grideye</name>
  <version>0.0.0</version>
  <description>The grideye package</description>

  <buildtool_depend>catkin</buildtool_depend>

  <run_depend>std_msgs</run_depend>
  <build_depend>python-numpy</build_depend>
  <run_depend>python-numpy</run_depend>

</package>

And finally the code I use is:

#!/usr/bin/env python

import rospy
import numpy
from grideye.msg import FloatsStamped
from grideye_class import GridEye

def talker():
    pub = rospy.Publisher('thermal_pixels', FloatsStamped, queue_size=10)
    rospy.init_node('grideye', anonymous=True)
    r = rospy.Rate(5)
    pix = []
    while not rospy.is_shutdown():
        pix = mysensor.getPixels()
        print(pix)

        #feed a FloatsStamped msg
        a = FloatsStamped
        a.header.stamp = rospy.Time.now() 
        a.data = numpy.array(pix, dtype=numpy.float32)

        pub.publish(a)
        r.sleep()

if __name__ == '__main__':
    mysensor = GridEye()
    rospy.loginfo("Starting data retrieving from Grid Eye sensor Board")
    talker()

I get an error message indicating that :

a.header.stamp = rospy.Time.now()  AttributeError: 'member_descriptor'

object has no attribute 'stamp'

I declare a as FloatsStamped message and this message includes the Header message, so I don't understand why I get this error message.
