Hello, I am making a simple subscriber which will subscribe to /lms200 topic on which Laser Data is being published.

I went through the ROS tutorial Writing a Simple Publisher and Subscriber (C++), and wrote the following subscriber node, it has been complied successfully but neither it generate any output not any error.

Here is my sample code:

#include "ros/ros.h"
#include "std_msgs/String.h"

void chatterCallback(const std_msgs::String::ConstPtr& msg)
{
    ROS_INFO("I heard: [%s]", msg->data.c_str());
}

int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
    ros::init(argc, argv, "redirector");
    ros::NodeHandle n;
    ros::Subscriber sub = n.subscribe("lms200", 1000, chatterCallback);
    ros::spin();
    return 0;
}

following is the output when i executes the $rospotic echo /lms200

header: 
  seq: 296
  stamp: 
    secs: 1417864716
    nsecs: 451817364
  frame_id: lms200
angle_min: -1.5707000494
angle_max: 1.5707000494

intensities: []

and following is the output when i executes the following command:-

cr-lab-tu@crlabtu-HP-Z800-Workstation:~$ rostopic info /lms200
Type: sensor_msgs/LaserScan

Publishers: 
 * /RosSim (http://crlabtu-HP-Z800-Workstation:55152/)

Subscribers: 
 * /redirector (http://crlabtu-HP-Z800-Workstation:40278/)

cr-lab-tu@crlabtu-HP-Z800-Workstation:~$

Please help me out to solve the problem.

//2. recieves message of laserscan type void chatterCallback(const sensor_msgs::LaserScan::ConstPtr& msg) { ROS_INFO("I heard: [%s]", msg->header.seq); // 3.prints sequence number of scan } int main(int argc, char **argv) { ros::init(argc, argv, "redirector"); ros::NodeHandle n; //1. add message type sensor_msgs::LaserScan to subbscriber ros::Subscriber sub = n.subscribe<sensor_msgs::LaserScan>("lms200", 1000, chatterCallback); ros::spin(); return 0; }

hello @bvbdort, thanks a lot for looking into it, i have followed your code and also included "sensor_msgs/LaserScan.h" file, but it is generating following at comment 3:-

const struct sensor_msgs::LaserScan_<std::allocator<void> >’ has no member named ‘seq

how can i resolve this, Thank you :)

sorry, i missed that seq is member of header. i updated it

bvbdort ( 2014-12-06 12:16:13 -0600 )edit

thank you so much @bvbdort for your kind help, it was giving 1 more warning as:

format ‘%s’ expects argument of type ‘char*’, but argument 8 has type ‘std_msgs::Header_<std::allocator<void> >::_seq_type {aka unsigned int}’ [-Wformat]

I've fixed it by using %d instead of %s in comment 3

thanks
