Hi there,

I have a course assignment in which I have to create and publish some double values into a ROS topic from a MATLAB client using TCP/IP or IPC or alike.. I did the research and found ros4mat, rosbridge, and ipc-bridge packages. Honestly, I don't know where to start specifically for just publishing a topic. For example, ros4mat sends data for many sensors but in order to create a new msg type, a lot of effort is needed for creating the new dynamically configured headers and data listener. Isn't there a simpler package in which I enter TCP or Ip address and topic name, and msg types and sizes in order to create a topic. Any help will be greately appreciated.

I've decided to use Rosbridge since it is connected easily using Java-WebSocket and since the MATLAB can use java libraries.
