Thanks. I am aware of those methods. So I am doing it something like this and I hope that this does the job of transforming RPY into Quaternion. Is there any other way to do this?

tf:: Quaternion rotation_rpy;
rotation_rpy.setRPY(x,y, theta);
geometry_msgs::Quaternion rotation_quat;
tf::quaternionTFToMsg(rotation_rpy, rotation_quat);

I am trying to represent a point (x,y,theta) as a quaternion. What is the easiest way to do that?

^I cannot see your post.

The easiest way to find out what to initialize in the type is to go to your CMakeLists.txt. Find the line that says something like add_executable(blah_blah src/whatever.cpp) then blah_blah is the type. Another way is to cd to your /devel/lib/ folder, dig into your package and there you will see the executables(probably, in green).

I am implementing something similar. You should probably look into http://docs.ros.org/hydro/api/gps_com... I think this is what you are looking for "static void LLtoUTM (const double Lat, const double Long, double &UTMNorthing, double &UTMEasting, std::string &UTMZone)" so just pass parameters and then this will do the rest. :) Hope this helps. :)

A group of students from university of Bremen have come up with the driver that works well on 12.04 and 14.04 meaning for both hydro and indigo. Here is the link to what they have done. It also has the link to their git repo. http://www.ros.org/news/2014/09/micro...

Is this the case still? Or have things changed?
