Hello, I want to create scenario in Gazebo with elevator. I can use ElevatorPlugin that is working but I don't control elevator by ros topics. How can i control ros topics that elevator ?
This is elevator.world. and also this is gazebo plugin of elevator.
I'm not familiar with this code and haven't used it, but I can read through it and explain what it's doing.
The callback type is std_msgs/String : https://github.com/ros-simulation/gaz... , but it calls std::strtoi on the argument, which indicates that the string should be a number.
The topic name is defined by the <topic> XML property: https://github.com/ros-simulation/gaz...
This sets the topic to ~/elevator : https://bitbucket.org/osrf/gazebo/src... . That's relative to the gazebo node name, so probably /gazebo/elevator . Running rostopic list when the elevator simulation and looking for a topic with "elevator" in the name will also help you find the topic name.
Overall, it looks like publishing "1" or "2" (or maybe "0", if floors are 0-indexed) on the /gazeo/elevator topic (or whatever topic it's actually using) will send the elevator to a floor.
I have the same problem. Did you find the answer?
I meet the same problem, when i follow the doc on Gazebo website to use the elevator plugin, i can not find any topic like /gazebo/elevator in topic list. So i checked the other plugin file names which works in ros,i find other plugin all use these .so file names like libgazebo_ros_camera.so , so i changed the elevator plugin file name to libgazebo_ros_elevator.so and it worked.
Also change the topic name from ~/elevator to any other names by yourself.
ps: Ubuntu18 + ROS Melodic
Hi, can you tell me the so filename you did modification before and after?
