Integrating Qt UI into ROS
Hello!
ENV: ROS Indigo under Ubuntu 14.04
I just followed the ROS tutorials and I have created my beginner_tutorials package using rosbuild method, not catkin. What I want to do now, is to create a new ROS node to publish something on a topic. But, behind this node, I want to add an user interface; in other words, user send informations to a topic via a UI. The problem is integrating Qt UI into all this business.
I don't know why, but all the tutorials explain how to do this using catkin, but my workspace is under rosbuild.
When finally found some help here: https://github.com/decoderdan/project... I realized that roscreate-qt-pkg is missing. The following command:
rosrun qt_create roscreate-qt-pkg _pkg-name_
Return:
[rosrun] Couldn't find executable named roscreate-qt-pkg below /opt/ros/indigo/share/qt_create
I was also able to open CMaleLists.txt via QT Creator and it seems to work! I mean i can edit sources but I'm unable to add Qt code to my ROS project.
Any hint?
I have developed GUI to control drone using PyQT and ROS. You can find it on this link https://github.com/pavankumarbn/Drone...
Is there any particular reason to use old rosbuild over catkin (which most of the ROS community uses)?
Please explain why you are "unable at add Qt code to my ROS project"? Do you get errors what are you trying to do? There are a lot of projects using Qt GUIs with ROS including all the core gui tools such as the rqt suite.
