How to create subscriber in a publisher

asked 2013-10-01 08:59:42 -0500

This post is a wiki. Anyone with karma >75 is welcome to improve it.

I want to create a node that will publish a topic but before that subscribes to listen to another topic. I want to rostopic pub /my_topic_cg std_gs/String "GO" ,and when the listener gets the "GO" published another topic which would print "The race has started" for example. How can i manage this? ive looked into it in the tutorial but could not get a answer. Also can i publish a number instead of a string, how can I do it in cpp?

Yes you can do that. I suggest you go through all the ROS Tutorials. (This one will help you, but you should go through all of them before as they are cumulative.)

You should incorporate the subscriber code before the publisher code. If you roscd to std_msgs/msg you can find all the standard data types.
