How to add 'clearpath_base/AckermannSetpt' msg in ROS Kinetic?
I would suggest using ackermann_msgs
as:
clearpath_msgs
is old, unused and unmaintainedIf you must use clearpath_msgs
, you can find it here.
You'll have to git clone ..
it to your Catkin workspace, make sure to have all dependencies installed (see #q252478 for the general procedure) and then build the workspace.
Problems with ackermann_msgs are its variable names can be misleading to someone
This I don't understand.
and its data types are 'float', I prefer 'double'.
It's up to you, but for values this small I would be surprised it really makes a difference.

Are you trying to upgrade a clearpath vehicle to ROS Kinetic? Or do you just want to use the messages in
clearpath_base
for your own purposes?Hi I want to use the messages in clearpath_base for my own purposes? Specifically 'clearpath_base/AckermannSetpt'. Because it contains timestamp, steering, throttle and braking. Exactly what I need. Thank you.
I would suggest to take a look at ackermann_msgs.
Perhaps that can be used.
It's already a stand-alone msg package and easily installed as it's released into Indigo, Kinetic and Melodic.
