Creating Custom Messages

[wmqazi]

Can please provide a link to tutorials of some kind.

I have custom build message on Ubuntu. Need to send and receive one between ROS c++ and ROS.NET

Can you provide some pointers

Inside the solution directory, put the MESSAGENAME.msg file in a folder, "PACKAGENAME/msg" and _build_once_. After building once without an error, THEN you can use it as Messages.PACKAGENAME.MESSAGENAME

Can you please provide more detail.
I created my own solution and referenced the required ROS.NET dlls which included Message, ROS_COM and YAMLParser. Then added a msg file in the my solution folder.

I mean how to build that msg file and what about build_once

I would appreciate you could help me out

Thanks

The YAMLParser project has a post-build task that generates code for all of the .msg and .srv files, then builds Messages/Messages.dll. ros-comm and all projects that use ros-comm then reference the built, generated Messages/Messages.dll. Try to get your message to exist (using my prior instructions) by having the ros.net projects AND your rosnode project in a solution together (with project references to all of the ros.net projects, but with a DLL reference to Messages/Messages.dll, like is done in Talker's project). After that has worked once, then you can reference the DLLs directly without rebuilding them every compilation to expedite your build process. To make sure your code is referencing the latest Messages.dll (that should include your message), I recommend editing your node project's .csproj and referencing the dll like at https://github.com/uml-robotics/ROS.NET/blob/master/Talker/Talker.csproj#L99

Were you able to get your custom messages working?

I am going to be adding some tutorials and examples to hopefully make things clearer.

Hi Unfortunately no. Actually i had to leave the station for a conference and will resume after getting back. A tutorial will be the best thing to have Wajahat
