Thanks for the quick response Thomas! I still have some trouble though, I explained it in the following question: http://answers.ros.org/question/95541/error-when-trying-to-use-my-own-msg/

I've tried to use my own .msg to send between nodes but I'm having some trouble. I got an answer on It before http://answers.ros.org/question/95406/how-can-i-use-my-own-msg/ but I don not get It to work properly.

The CmakeList.txt looks like this:

project(distanceCalc)

find_package(catkin REQUIRED COMPONENTS
  cv_bridge
  pcl
  pcl_ros
  roscpp
  sensor_msgs
  std_msgs
  stereo_msgs
  message_generation
)
 add_message_files(FILES distanceMessage.msg)

generate_messages(DEPENDENCIES std_msgs)
include_directories(
  ${catkin_INCLUDE_DIRS}
  ${OpenCV_INCLUDE_DIRS}
  ${PCL_INCLUDE_DIRS}
)
add_executable(distanceCalc src/distanceCalculation.cpp)
target_link_libraries(distanceCalc ${catkin_LIBRARIES} ${OpenCV_LIBRARIES} ${PCL_INCLUDE_DIRS})
add_dependencies(distanceCalc distanceCalc_gen_msg_cpp)

In my case I have projects within my src folder in the catkin_ws, one of them is named distanceCalc and have a folder named msg where the message distanceMessage.msg is placed.

Is there some mistake that I'm making, because when I try to inclide the message with the line

#include <msg/distanceMessage>

in my cpp file which exists in the src folder in the project distanceCalc I get an error (when trying to perform the catkin_make command) saying

"fatal error: msg/distanceMessage: No such file or directory"?

If this is not enough information to answer the questions please inform me and I will update.

I've created my own .msg and can perform "rosmsg show MyMessage". The question is how can I use it in my C++ code?

I've seen this link that is exactly the same question (http://answers.ros.org/question/31779/how-to-use-a-message-that-i-made/) however I don't really get it all. =(

Why is there a Header header in the .msg file? Is it "standard" to have in a msg?

Where Is the MyMessage.h file saved? How do I create It? I can only find the .msg file. Since I can't find it I cant Include it in the cpp file naturally.

It also states that I should add the line <depend package="my_custom_msg_package"/> in the manifest. When I do this i get an error saying: - The manifest must not contain the following tags: depend

How can I solve this?

Many Thanks, Patrik

Hi again! If we need to controll our robot do we need to install the server application on the controller or can we use the interface immediatly? What about the robot ip? How can we establish a connection? The controller software is updated to the latest version. At gthub it says if we use groovy we should checkout the svn repo, is this relevant? Many thanks!

Thank you! =)

I've been having trouble getting started with ROS and I need to integrate some sort of controller with ROS to communicate with the robot. It was the tutorial I found in ROS which lead me to the Motoplus SDK.

I need to controll a robot with the DX100 controller, I need some sort of sdk which can give me the possibility to program the controller. (Need to send stop signals at first..)

Do the MotoPlus require me to have windows OS? Is there somewhere you can download MotoPlus or Motonis and try it out?

Hi! Im a beginner at ROS and currently working in i project at my university where I should be able to send signals (go and stop signals at first) to a robot (Yakshawa Motoman robot) via the DX100 controller.

wiki.ros.org/motoman_driver/Tutorials says I need ROS hydro+. Does it work for ROS groovy as well or do I need to install the hydro+ version?

This page wiki.ros.org/motoman_driver#Requirements also says that I should mail to some group to get the MotoPlus SDK and some Motoman Part number. Is this necessary or do I need to mail them?

Thank you for all your help!

/Beginner who is lost... =)
