Hey guys!

Sorry for the newbie question. I am working on an ROS robot and ive been using Int32 to transmit motor power and servo angles. However, the other day I came across the twist message type, and it looks like what i need, specially considering we will want to eventually use the move_base.

Im afraid i do not fully understand how twist works, and i would greatly greatly appreciate some help adapting my program.

I use and arduino with a polou motor controller and a node for each motor at this time. I will the leave my current program over here just for reference:

Thank you in advance!

We're all here to help, so don't take this as me writing "please go away and find it out yourself". Thing is, this exact topic has been discussed quite a large number of times here on ROS Answers.

So it would be really appreciated if you could do a quick search (Google: twist to wheel velocities site:answers.ros.org or similar keywords), read those Q&As and then come back here to tell us which ones you've read and if they're unclear, explain what is still unclear about them.

You'll perhaps also want to take a look at ros_control, in particular the diff_drive_controller (that is, if you're using a differential drive setup of course).
