I am working with summitXL. After reaching the target point I would like to set the odometry by calling the ros service "/summit_a/set_odometry". How can I call the service inside the node. Thanks in advance.
Hey there,
Please check here: http://wiki.ros.org/ROS/Tutorials
Probably you are looking for: Writing a Simple Service and Client (C++)
Instead of writing all these, a simple answer would be convenient for everyone. Besides, even in that tutorial, it's not clear. There is add_two_ints variable, said to be handle, but should it have the same name when it's a function or a variable, it's vague.
You can call a ros service inside a node like:
import rosservice
rosservice.call_service("YOUR_SERVICE_NAME",[Arguments])
To add on to the above answer. You can enter the following into a c++ script. In my example I wanted to call a service and set a bool periodically to true
#include "ros/service_client.h"
#include "ros/ros.h"
#include "std_srvs/SetBool.h"
ros::ServiceClient example_srv;
std_srvs::SetBool example_boolean_value;
example_boolean_value.request.data = true;
example_srv.call(example_boolean_value);
