Looks like a compiler error. Have you tried re/installing Catkin?

If you've yaml present in more than a folder, you've to figure out which is the version you've to use (related to the version of python), and then add that folder in the PYTHONPATH. At least is what I did to solve the problem.

Finally I found the answer.

Looking at morse initialization, there was the following message:

[WARN] [WallTime: 1400249615.593493] Could not process inbound connection: topic types do not match: [geometry_msgs/Pose] vs. [geometry_msgs/PoseStamped]{'topic': '/bee/pose', 'tcp_nodelay': '0', 'md5sum': 'e45d45a5a1ce597b249e23fb30fc871f', 'type': 'geometry_msgs/Pose', 'callerid': '/plan_node'}

So I changed the callback method:

void chatterCallback(const geometry_msgs::PoseStamped& msg)
{
        geometry_msgs::Point coord = msg.pose.position;
        ROS_INFO("Current position: (%g, %g, %g)", coord.x, coord.y, coord.z);
}

and don't forget to include:

#include "geometry_msgs/PoseStamped.h"

Hi, I am running a simulation with Morse. tryin to get data from the robot with a C++ program using ROS.

The simulation is simple: a Quadrotor publishes its pose on a topic, and receives a navigation waypoint. The Morse file is:

from morse.builder import *

bee = Quadrotor()

waypoint = RotorcraftWaypoint()
bee.append(waypoint)
waypoint.add_stream('ros')

#The Quadrototor is called bee
beePose = Pose()
bee.append(beePose)
beePose.add_stream('ros', topic='/bee/pose')

#Environment
env = Environment('land-1/trees')

In the C++ program, the chatterCallback(...) is never called, while it should print the position of the Quadrorotor:

#include "ros/ros.h"
#include "geometry_msgs/Pose.h"
#include <sstream>

void chatterCallback(const geometry_msgs::Pose& msg)
{
        geometry_msgs::Point coord = msg.position;
        ROS_INFO("Current position: (%g, %g, %g)", coord.x, coord.y, coord.z);
}

int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
        ros::init(argc, argv, "plan_node");

/**
 * NodeHandle is the main access point to communications with the ROS system.
 */
        ros::NodeHandle n;

/**
 * The advertise() function is how you tell ROS that you want to
 * publish on a given topic name.
 */
        ros::Publisher motion = n.advertise<geometry_msgs::Pose>("/bee/waypoint", 1000);

        // subscribes to stream
        ros::Subscriber sub = n.subscribe("/bee/pose", 1000, chatterCallback);

        ros::spin();

        return 0;
}

While calling roswtf, I get the following error:

ERROR The following nodes should be connected but aren't:
 * /morse->/plan_node (/bee/pose)

The weird thing is that all the nodes are running on the same computer. No network connection problems... in theory.

Finally, I get the desired data when running on another terminal:

rostopic echo /bee/pose

Any advice?

Thanks

I found an alternative solution. The problem here is that (Python3) yaml is called from a Python2.7 script, with evident incompatibilities.

I thus installed yaml in its Python2.7 version:

 python2.7 setup.py install --prefix=/opt/ros/electric

and then added the path where it has been installed in PYTHONPATH, which in my case was something like:

export PYTHONPATH=$PYTHONPATH:/opt/ros/electric/lib/python2.7/site-packages

in /opt/ros are left the directories: dependencies fuerte
