Dear friends,

I am new in ROS, I am usinig CMVISION package, and the tos topic which I need is " /blobs ", with type "cmvision/blobs"

$ rosmsg show cmvision/Blob

uint32 red uint32 green uint32 blue uint32 area uint32 x uint32 y uint32 left uint32 right uint32 top uint32 bottom

I want to just read the "x", and "y" from this message,

As far as I know the "/" can help me, but I tried "rostopic echo /blobs/x" and it did not work....

Any body knows how I could do this?

Thanks

Do you want to read the value in terminal or use it in your code?

The message that is being send over the topic is of type Blob.

You need to receive the message type Blob by subscribing to the topic. Then in your code you can write something like

int x = blob_message.x;
int y = blob_message.y;

So in summary you need to receive the complete message.
