Hi,

I have been trying to control the dynamixel using the data received by the subscriber of msg type Int64MultiArray. I do not know what the problem is, I could not able to make it work. I could able to publish the array but not subscribe. When the msg type of subscriber is changed to Int32 it is working fine but I need to get a array of data( six values).

Kindly inform what is the problem or any alternate methods.

void error_loop(){
  while(1){
    digitalWrite(LED_PIN, !digitalRead(LED_PIN));
    delay(100);
  }
}

void subscription_callback(const void * msgin)
{ 

  const std_msgs__msg__Int64MultiArray * goal_vel = (const std_msgs__msg__Int64MultiArray *)msgin;
  int64_t left_front; 

    value[0] = int64_t(goal_vel->data.data[0]);
    value[1] = goal_vel->data.data[1];
    left_front = (goal_vel->data.data[0]);

    //left_front = int32_t(msg->data);
    dxl.setGoalVelocity(DXL_ID,value[0]);

   }

void setup() {
  // put your setup code here, to run once:
    set_microros_transports();

    allocator = rcl_get_default_allocator();

    //create init_options
    RCCHECK(rclc_support_init(&support, 0, NULL, &allocator));

    //create node 
    RCCHECK(rclc_node_init_default(&node, "dynamixel_control", "",&support));

    //create publisher
    RCCHECK(rclc_publisher_init_default(&publisher, &node, 
      ROSIDL_GET_MSG_TYPE_SUPPORT(std_msgs, msg, Int64MultiArray), "ticks"));

     // create subscriber
    RCCHECK(rclc_subscription_init_default(&subscriber,&node,
    ROSIDL_GET_MSG_TYPE_SUPPORT(std_msgs, msg, Int64MultiArray),  "drive_cmd"));

    // create executor
    RCCHECK(rclc_executor_init(&executor, &support.context, 1, &allocator));
    RCCHECK(rclc_executor_add_timer(&executor, &timer));
    RCCHECK(rclc_executor_add_subscription(&executor, &subscriber, &goal_vel, &subscription_callback, ON_NEW_DATA));

      Serial.begin(115200);
    dxl.begin(1000000);
    dxl.setPortProtocolVersion(DXL_PROTOCOL_VERSION);

    //dxl.ping(DXL_ID);
    dxl.torqueOff(DXL_ID);
  dxl.setOperatingMode(DXL_ID, OP_VELOCITY);
  dxl.torqueOn(DXL_ID);
  dxl.setGoalVelocity(DXL_ID,20);

  goal_vel = std_msgs__msg__Int64MultiArray__create();
  ticks = std_msgs__msg__Int64MultiArray__create();

  goal_vel->data.data = (int64_t*)malloc(sizeof(value));
  ticks->data.data = (int64_t*)malloc(sizeof(array_tic)); 

  ticks->data.size = sizeof(array_tic)/sizeof(int64_t);memcpy(ticks->data.data,array_tic,sizeof(array_tic));
  goal_vel->data.size = sizeof(value)/sizeof(int64_t);memcpy(goal_vel->data.data, value,sizeof(value));
}

void loop() {
  // put your main code here, to run repeatedly:
    delay(100);
    array_tic[0]= left_tick;
    array_tic[1] = right_tick;
    left_tick =  dxl.getPresentPosition(DXL_ID);  
    right_tick =  dxl.getPresentPosition(2); 
    ticks->data.data = array_tic;  

    RCSOFTCHECK(rcl_publish(&publisher, ticks, NULL));
    RCSOFTCHECK(rclc_executor_spin_some(&executor, RCL_MS_TO_NS(100)));
}

The problem is the initialization of goal_vel. In micro-ROS you should not rely on default init functions. Please read this tutorial to learn how to init message memory correctly.

If your problem is not solved, please open an issue in our Github repos.

I read the document and initialized like this. but still it is not working

int64_t array_tic[2]= {left_tick,right_tick}; int64_t value[10] = {0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0};

goal_vel = std_msgs__msg__Int64MultiArray__create(); goal_vel->data.capacity = 10; goal_vel->data.data = (int64_t*)malloc(goal_vel->data.capacity * sizeof(int64_t)); goal_vel->data.size = sizeof(value)/sizeof(int64_t);memcpy(goal_vel->data.data, value,sizeof(value)); //

  ticks = std_msgs__msg__Int64MultiArray__create();  
  ticks->data.capacity = 2;
  ticks->data.data = (int64_t*)malloc(sizeof(array_tic));   
  ticks->data.size = sizeof(array_tic)/sizeof(int64_t);memcpy(ticks->data.data,array_tic,sizeof(array_tic));

In the document does not appear any std_msgs__msg__Int64MultiArray__create function.

Also, it is stated that you have to check all members of your type recursively, you are not initializing layout member, nor any of its sub-members.
