I'm using Linux 16.04 LTS and ROS Kinetic, and confused about a problem.
If you have some knowledge about my case, please gift me. (I'm a Japanese, and my English may be strange somehow. Sorry.) I will maintain my case later.

First, I introduce my error message:

ERROR MESSAGE

I will maintain my case later.
First, I introduce my error message:

this is all about the error message. I tried to use Dynamixel XM430-W350-R servo motors with Dynamixel-workbench package. Dynamixel-workbench includes multiple packages:

  • dynamixel_workbench
  • dynamixel_controllers
  • dynamixel_operators
  • dynamixel_workbench_single_manager
  • dynamixel_workbench_single_magager_gui
  • dynamixel_workbench_toolbox

I used a package dynamixel_controllers to manipulate my dynamixel motors. Without any change, I successed in manipulating them.

Then, because I need to change codes I copied dynamixel_controllers/src/torque_control.cpp and dynamixel_controllers/launch/torque_control.launch to another package I made. Of course, I changed both CMakeLists.txt and package.xml. I can't find any defect in these, but getting error means there may be some defect. So I want you to check it out.

the code is like this:

CMakeLists.txt

cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 2.8.3)                                                                              
project(dynamixel_driver)

add_executable(torque_control src/torque_control.cpp)
add_dependencies(torque_control ${${PROJECT_NAME}_EXPORTED_TARGETS} ${catkin_EXPORTED_TARGETS})

I referred some questions here and most of them pointed out "it happened because your workspace are not referred and you should source /catkin_ws/devel/setup.bash." I tried it but nothing changes.

Does anyone give me knowledge about this error and pick me up from a swamp!

One thing to check: before source /catkin_ws/devel/setup.bash, did you catkin_make your workspace?

i am not sure of this but you can try including the dependency on other packages as the packages in workbench are interconnected.
